I think she might be going a little deaf. Anytime anyone mentions the files she just keeps asking “Pardon Me?"

    Political impartiality is a myth. All actors have motives and biases. We should strive to build a robust system that has the fail-safes to prevent bad actors from doing things like:

    • Gerrymandering districts to disenfranchise their political opponents
    • Appointing political allies to lifelong terms controlling the justice system
    • Allowing corporate money into politics and the treatment of corporations as people
    • Using pardons for cronyism

    A fair system is not an apolitical one, it is a very political one, with strong convictions and ideals about the rights of its citizens, such that they are unalienable.
