Judges must be free from political intervention or intimidation.

But one way or another, judges perform a very vital function in our society. They have a risky job and they are entitled to security.

No one politician should be allowed to judge the guilt, to charge an individual, to judge the guilt of an individual and to execute an individual.

Nobody wants a judge to be subject to the political whim of the moment.

Judges are appointed often through the political process.

The prisoner is not the one who has commited a crime, but the one who clings to his crime and lives it over and over.

I remain mindful that the role of a judge is a limited one and that judges can't solve every problem. But at the same time, judges play a crucial role in safeguarding liberty and protecting the rights of all citizens.

A political prisoner is someone who is out fighting for his or her people's rights and freedom and is imprisoned for that alone.

Any judge who allows an adulterer with a live-in girlfriend to terminate the life of his wife should be impeached.

People must be confident that a judge's decisions are determined by the law and only the law. He must be faithful to the Constitution and statutes passed by Congress. Fidelity to the Constitution and the law has been the cornerstone of my life and the hallmark of the kind of judge I have tried to be.
