Would you vote to confirm a Communist to the Supreme Court?

Of course I would.  A communist would be better than the theocrats we've been getting lately.

Basically every judge lets his political ideology get in the way.

To an extent, this problem cannot be avoided. Of course, judges do let their personal opinions get in the way some times; no judge is perfect.

People's views don't 'get in the way' of interpretation - they create their interpretations.  All these so called judicial theories such as strict constructionism are just methods of making the constitution promote ones ideology.
