I Am Especially Indebted To A 10th

I Have Been Committed To Carrying Out My Duties... In Accordance With Both The Letter And Spirit Of All Applicable Rules Of Ethics And Canons Of Conduct.

I Attended The Public Schools.and I Have Happy Memories And Strong Memories Of Those Days And Good Memories Of The Good Sense And The Decency Of My Friends And My Neighbors.

When I Had My Confirmation Hearing For The Court Of Appeals, [my Son] Philip Was 3 Years Old. And When I Was Called Up To The Chair He Took It Upon Himself To Run Up And Sit Next To Me In Case Any Hard Questions Came Up.

When I Became A Judge, I Stopped Being A Practicing Attorney. And That Was A Big Change In Role.the Role Of A Practicing Attorney Is To Achieve A Desirable Result For The Client In The Particular Case At Hand. But A Judge Can't Think That Way. A Judge Can't Have Any Agenda, A Judge Can't Have Any Preferred Outcome In Any Particular Case And A Judge Certainly Doesn't Have A Client.

I Am Particularly Proud Of My Contributions In Recent Cases In Which The Government Has Argued In The Supreme Court That Racial And Ethnic Quotas Should Not Be Allowed And That The Constitution Does Not Protect A Right To An Abortion.
