Judge Roberts has assured me personally that he has a healthy respect for precedent and the hard-won rights of Americans.

I've learned how to look at things and not judge them but respect them and use it in a way that people understand that I respect them show them love and respect their reality.

I respect people who feel things passionately. I do. But when someone is a judge that is not what they should bring to the bench. It is not really passion except in rare instances that serves the bench well. It is rather an ability to understand the law and follow it.

Don't ever know who you may meet or just because a person may not be dressed up all fancy don't mean they're not an important person. You just don't ever know who you're gonna meet in life. So that's why I look at everybody as equal. Can't just judge. I treat everybody with respect. Every man.

I know it's very idealistic and utopian but I believe we need to just let everyone not be judged in terms of religion groups or nations or region.

What was a really private and nice relationship was judged and made to be something ugly.

It's interesting that I had such a close relationship with my grandfather. Because your parents always judge you: they say 'You shouldn't do this you shouldn't do that.' But with your grandparents you have a feeling that you can say anything or you can do anything and they will support you. That's why you have this kind of connection.

The politics of judges is getting to be red hot.

If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards that would have gotten you labeled a radical 60 years ago a liberal 30 years ago and a racist today.

There is a criterion by which you can judge whether the thoughts you are thinking and the things you are doing are right for you. The criterion is: Have they brought you inner peace?
