Emily, no offense, but IMO you're naive about that. That ship sailed with the huge corruption of our judicial system as the Federalist Society and right-wing dark money groom an army of ideologically corrupt judicial candidates who Republicans put into office - they're already as corrupted as you worry. There is no 'becoming' corrupted from interviews. The only risk there is that they're exposed for what they are, that people see more and the 'veil is lifted'.
Good point, Craig.
