We've got to understand that all disenfranchised people have something in common...The pursuit of justice really is about equality for everyone.

We have a history of gender and racial bias on our court that continues to undermine the system. Excluding individuals based on race is antagonistic to the pursuit of justice.

When I think of what has happened in a larger sense, beyond myself, then I would not change anything.

I have - often say to people that you really don't get to decide your own legacy. I mean, what you do is, you try to be your own authentic self. And then people decide how they're going to interpret that and what it means to them.

Testifying has helped me understand that one individual's behavior and actions make a difference. That my actions are important to people other than myself

But I think it would be irresponsible for me not to say what I really believe in my heart to be true - that there are some serious inequities that we face as women and that we can work to address these inequities

Whether we call it a job or a career, work is more than just something we do. It is a part of who we are.
