“I do wish the President had nominated Larry Tribe...or Alan Dershowitz,” joked the conservative Fried, referring to two of his more liberal colleagues at the Law School.
Fried, who served as Solicitor General to former president Ronald W. Reagan and will testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee in support of Roberts, argued yesterday that a judge should not disclose his opinions regarding specific cases.
Fried said he hoped that Roberts would eschew his predecessor’s tendency to avoid excessive debate in favor of a “looser philosophy.”
But a persistent Fried claimed victory when Dershowitz conceded that justices excessively stalwart in their views are a detriment to the Court.
“Now you’re agreeing with me about the open mind,” Fried said gleefully. “I’m glad I’ve persuaded you.”
