re: #356 Walter L. Newton

The ability to be impartial and the fact that she admits that she can’t be, won’t be, denies the possibility of being impartial is problematic. No where does she say she strives to be impartial. …

Yes, she does.

While recognizing the potential effect of individual experiences on perception, Judge Cedarbaum nevertheless believes that judges must transcend their personal sympathies and prejudices and aspire to achieve a greater degree of fairness and integrity based on the reason of law. Although I agree with and attempt to work toward Judge Cedarbaum’s aspiration, I wonder whether achieving that goal is possible in all or even in most cases.
