There was a circular on reddit from progressives taking the same stance.  They said that all of them but LaBarga had had too many prior associations with conservative legal advocacy groups.   I had already read some decisions and formed my opinion before seeing that, but I forgive you for wanting to be opposite from them. But to vote opposite me just out of spite, man, not good. Be better.

All judges are lawyers/advocates before they become judges.  They're expected to put aside their personal convictions as they decide cases, but they're not expected to have zero controversial personal convictions.  No one would be able to be a judge if that was the case.
