• Hay una lamentable historia de este tipo de acusaciones de parcialidad contra las mujeres y los jueces de color, y también contra los jueces gays y lesbianas. La teoría es que van a ser incapaces de un juicio desinteresado en asuntos que involucran a sus propios grupos de identidad. Y fue famoso el caso de Constance Baker Motley, que fue una de las primeras juezas federales afroamericanas en un caso de discriminación sexual.

• Creo que la cuestión de la responsabilidad judicial es complicada. Por un lado, se quiere fomentar la independencia judicial. Y creo que siempre es problemático que una decisión impopular desencadene una elección revocatoria. Porque envía un mensaje de desempoderamiento a los jueces. Por otro lado, es la única manera que tienen los votantes de frenar a alguien cuyas opiniones están tan fuera de la corriente dominante de la opinión pública que ponen en peligro la legitimidad del proceso judicial.

• You can understand why the original framers of judicial ethics thought it would be undignified and would call into question the legitimacy of the judicial decision-making process to have mudslinging by judges, but the way that we hobble people of enormous integrity from defending themselves is, I think, deeply problematic in states where you have an elected judiciary, or a judge is subject to recall.

• Ironically enough, if the case involves race, and one claims that race is a disqualifying factor, nobody could hear the case. Everybody comes to these cases with some preconceptions, and the premise of our judicial system is that judges by training and by ethical codes are obligated to set those prejudices aside and to decide on the facts and the law. And to claim that somebody can't simply because of their racial identity is deeply offensive.
