Former federal appellate judge Richard Posner, appointed by Ronald Reagan, wrote a book called “How Judges Think”. Unfortunately, it should have been called “How Judges Behave”, because the job of judging really doesn’t rest on thinking; it rests on issuing a ruling, and more times than not, these rulings are wrong in law, and are also not subject to written explanations. They’re often just fiat.
