As I Mentioned, Things Were Particularly Hard

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 Think That The Legitimacy Of The Court Would Be Undermined In Any Case If The Court Made A Decision Based On Its Perception Of Public Opinion.

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

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.

My Father Was Brought To This Country As An Infant. He Lost His Mother As A Teenager. He Grew Up In Poverty.although He Graduated At The Top Of His High School Class, He Had No Money For College. And He Was Set To Work In A Factory But, At The Last Minute, A Kind Person In The Trenton Area Arranged For Him To Receive A $50 Scholarship And That Was Enough In Those Days For Him To Pay The Tuition At A Local College And Buy One Used Suit. And That Made The Difference Between His Working In A Factory And Going To College.
