Aaron Swartz Meets Justice Kennedy
All in all, he seemed like a relatively normal guy (with a vast knowledge of the law) who was just trying to do what seemed right and fair. He talked about how he never wanted to lose touch with the actual people behind all of his cases, and how he really wants to be a trial judge so he can be listening to people's actual problems (he says he never had the political power to get the job). I think this is why he's often the "swing vote" — he doesn't care so much about political battles or overarching doctrines, but just doing what's right by the law and what's fair for the people.
A full report on his talk and the event follows.
Aaron does an excellent job reporting on Justice Kennedy's talk at Northwestern this week, definitely check it out.
