Microsoft is engaging in unlawful predatory practices that go well beyond the scope of fair competition.

In our system of government, the judicial and legislative branches have different roles. Judges are not politicians. Judges must decide cases, not champion causes. Judges must settle legal disputes, not pursue agendas. Judges must interpret and apply the law, not make the law.

Because judges may not issue advisory opinions, judicial nominees may not do so either, especially on issues likely to come before the court. That rule has always been honored.

I wear a mezuzah just to remind me, just to make sure that there is never another holocaust anywhere.

This principle that judges are not politicians lies at the very heart of a judicial job - of the judicial job description.

Ending up in the right place in this debate requires starting in the right place. The right place to start is the proper discrimination of what judges are supposed to do, and the rest of the process should reflect this judicial job description.
