Loses credibility.
The idea for the book, Mr. Stevens essentially admitted to The New Yorker’s Jeffrey Toobin, came when he decided in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., school-shooting massacre that stronger gun-control laws were needed, and that court precedent, specifically 1997’s Printz v. United States, stood in the way. “I thought if that decision might be responsible for a situation like the one in Newtown, they ought to change it,” Mr. Stevens told Mr. Toobin. “That got me to thinking that there had to be other rules that ought to be changed."

A judge who rules on law based on his own personal beliefs and not the actual law.
