Consider two
possibilities.
First, a group of liberal and
conservative legal elites acts together, either informally or formally, to
support high quality justices. Liberals endorse the McConnells of the
world, conservatives the Kathleen Sullivans of the universe.
Second, members of one political
ideology act with quote "integrity" and support qualified members of rival
ideologies, but there is no reciprocity.
Might it be argued that acting with
integrity in the second case is selfish and makes the political system worse
off, by skewing the membership of the courts.
