re: #401 avanti

That is the ideal, but the reality is that life experiences shape your decisions. Let’s take two justices deciding say a gun control case. One, a avid hunter from Montana, the other born and raised NYC. They are sworn to be fair, but the gun owner might better understand the importance of the 2nd amendment.

The Second is not about hunting.

Anyone with a brain from NYC should be able to take a good swing at it. I’d start with anyone who rode a train with Colin Ferguson.
