I Have Been Committed To Carrying Out

The Most Important Quality For A Judge Is Open- Mindedness To The Arguments.

Good Judges Develop Certain Habits Of Mind. One Of Those Habits Of Mind Is The Habit Of Delaying Reaching Conclusions Until Everything Has Been Considered.

If I'm Confirmed I'll Be Myself.

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.

The First Amendment, I Think, Is The Jewel Of Our Constitution.
