The Judiciary Philosophy of Robert Mueller

CNN's John Sutter says Robert Kagan has a vision of the court as an impartial body, but it's important to recognize that his vision is not substantive. He doesn't care about the court actually being an impartial body and being above politics; he cares about the court being perceived that way. As a result, he's from time to time hedged on certain politically visible cases and sort of taken a more center of the road approach than his fellow conservative justices. But he's always careful to lay the groundwork for conservative arguments down the road.
