If that was a sample of his "judicial intelligence" - then there better be other "more qualified" choices for the position...
Now, he's part of one of many groups that want to see the "Fairness Doctrine" brought back. And if the MN. election judges manage to quantify their findings, he'll be in a better position to try to ram the FD, again, down the Broadcasting Community's throats.
He's got a political agenda in his head...to me, that alone shows he's not the type of person I'd feel comfortable having on the SCOTUS.
I thing you want someone on the SC that will, at least, give each individual that appears before it, a fair chance on the issues that are being presented.
Not whether the person before the SC is a political favorite or pariah.
I seriously doubt that Al can separate the two from one another effectively to come to a sensible and reasonable conclusion.
