Few of us are surprised (though some may be disappointed) when a federal judgeship is awarded or a senior diplomat appointed because the candidate passes a litmus test of loyalty to some principle that is important to the President's or Prime Minister's party.
A pocos nos sorprende (aunque a algunos les desilusiona) que se otorgue un cargo de juez federal o de diplomático de alto nivel a un candidato que pase pruebas de lealtad sobre principios que son importantes para el partido del presidente o del primer ministro.
