I loved being a judge, and sometimes I miss the power of the gavel, but this is a lot more fun.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love being a judge, and I anticipate being a judge for the rest of my life.
I love judges, and I love courts. They are my ideals, that typify on earth what we shall meet hereafter in heaven under a just God.
I was privileged to serve as a judge.
I'm glad I made the decision, although the practice of law - and particularly serving as a federal judge - was a part of my life that I really enjoyed and treasured and look back on it with fondness.
My job, I think, is the hardest job out of all the judges because I am the only one that is a performer.
To be a lawyer was too boring for me, for my personality.
I have been a judge for 15 years and I've made up my own mind during all that time.
That excitement on the court, I'm the same way off the court. I like to have fun, meet people; I like to give high-fives to the kids courtside. Just have fun. That's kind of my personality, that's how I've been.
As soon as I got up on that stage, and I remembered how welcoming and warming the judges, their presence is, and it was just all uphill from there.
The truth of the matter was that I made myself disappear. I never liked being a Judge, so I just decided to start over. Sorry to inconvenience anyone.
