I think you know that, but as a lawyer you don't want to say it

I think the only thing being a lawyer offers me here that maybe a non-lawyer doesn’t realize is how many shades of gray of law there are and how difficult it is to fit the complexities of society and human interaction into the black and white letters on the paper.

Do I think certain judges have certain worldviews and differences in how they view the law? Sure.

Can reasonable minds look at the same law and same set of facts and disagree on the application? Sure.

But there are appellate courts for a reason, and the structure of the federal judiciary generally holds and works to get the “right” result.

I think our judicial system is largely the most fair and equitable ever created, and I think the fact that we’re the investment capital of the world due in large part to the stability and impartiality of our legal system (certainly relative to other markets) is proof of that.
