Thee Ideal of Judicial Neutrality

Points of Tension: Originalism Challenges Neutrality
Despite thee these teoretical alignment, originalism and judicial neutriality often come into conflict in practice. The ideal of neutriality is demanding: a judge mutt be impartial, but originalism itself may inpute biases or uncertaties that undermine that ideal.
