I don't stand by the understanding of that statement that I will ignore other facts or other experiences because I haven't had them. I do believe that life experiences are important to the process of judging - They help you to understand and listen - but that the law requires a result. And it would command you to the facts that are relevant to the disposition of the case.

I can and do aspire to be greater than the sum total of my experiences, but I accept my limitations. I willingly accept that we who judge must not deny the differences resulting from experience and heritage but attempt, as the Supreme Court suggests, continuously to judge when those opinions, sympathies and prejudices are appropriate.

Some people choose not to engage the battle and then don't seek out that kind of success. And others do.

We apply law to facts. We don't apply feelings to facts.

My job as a prosecutor is to do justice. And justice is served when a guilty man is convicted and an innocent man is not.

I am growing to love DC.This [Washington] is a beautiful city. I think every citizen should come see their capital. A lot of the museums are free, there are restaurants that are reasonably priced.

Don't be shy about making a teacher of any willing party who knows what he or she is doing.
