No idea as to his political affiliation.
Correct.
But there's a little more to it than that.
It was basically because you tend to see certain judicial decisions by judges as being partisan (regardless of the actual partisan affiliation of the particular judges involved)
That's quite a case of
projection you have going on there.
Epic in fact.
You may wish to get a tuneup on that
mind reader hat.
I'm pretty well inclined to see judges' decisions in light of what I believe the law to be.
Where those decisions depart from that however, I am certainly willing to entertain the possibility that ideology or partisan bias plays a role.
Judges are human after all, and although they are supposed to place their judgements above such things, there are some who apparently can't.
No big surprise there.
