I have been a judge for 15 years and I've made up my own mind during all that time.

I'll be the judge of my own manliness.

I've been a photographer all these years... I haven't been in my own darkroom for 10 years.

I'm a historian in my own mind.

Mind your own temptations...

A judge can't have any preferred outcome in any particular case. The judge's only obligation - and it's a solemn obligation - is to the rule of law.
