[@rockpaperscissors6521]

Supreme Court nominees dodging questions about their personal beliefs on controversial issues isn't just a woke thing. It's a move done by nominees of all political stripes. For example, remember how Amy Coney Barrett kept dodging questions about her views on abortion? Given that judges are supposed to follow the law impartially and uninfluenced by their personal beliefs, just about any personal beliefs that they reveal will be inevitably used against them as potential biases of concern. They simply have more to lose than to gain by answering questions about their personal beliefs on controversial topics. That goes for democrats, republicans, or anyone.

You’re making it seem like only judges with conservative views should be appointed or confirmed, and that is certainly not constitutionally accurate…
