for his family, for the senate, it s been emotional for the country. it has been it s demonstrated the cultural shift. it s hit with this social change that we re seeing that many would argue has come way too late and isn t complete. all of this all these forces i think are together in a crucible that make none of this normal and i don t think you can take any one incident and say, gosh, this is odd. maybe we shouldn t do it this way. i just want to get to some of what he said in his op-ed, kiersten. he writes, i do not decide cases based on personal or policy preferences. i am not a pro plaintiff or pro defendant judge. i am not a pro prosecution or pro defense judge. i am a pro law judge. so, my question is, can we can he really say that? and can we believe it after he said the left was taking revenge on what happened with the
