Dylan Matthews just posted this article on Vox, headlined, “Why some conservatives fear Donald Trump is about to betray them on the Supreme Court.”
The article rehashes (unfounded) conservative fears that Hardiman will prove to be a liberal like Justice Souter, with a few details new to me — Allahpundit? It also regurgitates the suddenly omnipresent Common Space analysis that purports to demonstrate — science! — that Hardiman will be a centrist, essentially because PA’s Senators at the time of his elevation were Republican Arlen Specter and the then-just-elected Democrat Bob Casey. Oy. But in the end Vox concludes that conservatives have little to worry about with Hardiman, which I’m sure will be a great relief to them.
