Deanne Maynard spoke to the AP News for an
article discussing Chief Justice John Roberts swearing in
President-elect Joe Biden, the fourth time Roberts will stand
across from a man who either voted against his confirmation to the
Supreme Court.
According to Deanne, it would be a mistake to think justices
allow personal feelings to influence decisions.
"The court likes to think of itself as approaching, and
does try to approach, every case on its facts and on its own
law," Deanne said. "I can't imagine the justices are
thinking back to the tally in their confirmation hearings when they
decide any given case."
She added that efforts by the new administration to reverse
Trump positions on some issues could meet resistance on the court.
"To the extent it is a situation where the Biden
administration might take a different view, then I think that's
where the composition of the court might matter."
