I make my donations to Planned Parenthood anonymously, I have declined all the invitations I’ve gotten to go to Young Democrat events, and I keep my political views off Facebook.
Part of my strategy has been to be careful about expressing my liberal political opinions, because becoming a judge means getting past my state’s inevitably Republican governor/state legislature/federal legislators. But of course, actually becoming a judge is a long shot, and even if it were to happen someday I have decades of work ahead of me. So far I’ve done everything right – gotten good grades at a “fancy” law school, done two clerkships, landed a litigation job at a well-connected local firm that formerly employed half the state’s supreme court and several members of the federal bench, networked extensively in the state bar. If I’m being honest, my dream for a long time has been to someday become a judge. I live in a very blue neighborhood in a light blue city in a deep, dark red state where the state judiciary is appointed.
