every other justice i have had an opportunity to weigh in on, whether it was justice kagan, gorsuch orr or roberts. i am perhaps taking more time than some would like me to. some on the right would like me to decide right now to support him, and those on the left would say, you need to decide right now that he is just not acceptable. i don't operate that way. i will take my time. i will be thoughtful. i have joked with my son, who is finishing up law school, that i feel like i am back in law school because i am reading the opinions. i want to gauge for myself. i know i am not going to be able to ask him a question on what will you do in x case? i would not ask that question and he would not answer that question. so what i am trying to do is to discern if is judge kavanagh has the qualities i think we are all looking for in a judge. the judicial temperament, the character, the intelligence, the balance, the desire to truly follow the law rather than to try to move things in a more predetermined or perhaps political outcome. so i want to know, how does he view precedent? what does he consider or how
