I'm Not Any Kind Of A Bigot,

I Have Been A Judge For 15 Years And I've Made Up My Own Mind During All That Time.

I Think That What My Parents Taught Me About Hard Work, Optimism And Education Still Holds True.

I Know That Some Poor Immigrants From That Era Had Unrealistic Expectations And Were Disappointed, But I Don't Think My Grandparents Were Disappointed At All, Even Though They Experienced Some Very Hard Times During The Great Depression.

It Was A Time Of Turmoil At Colleges And Universities. And I Saw Some Very Smart People And Very Privileged People Behaving Irresponsibly. And I Couldn't Help Making A Contrast Between Some Of The Worst Of What I Saw On The Campus And The Good Sense And The Decency Of The People Back In My Own Community.

Our Country As A Whole, No Less Than The Hastings College Of Law, Values Tolerance, Cooperation, Learning, And The Amicable Resolution Of Conflicts. But We Seek To Achieve Those Goals Through "[a] Confident Pluralism That Conduces To Civil Peace And Advances Democratic Consensus-building," Not By Abridging First Amendment Rights.
