Judges should decide legal disputes. Judges should not make law.

Judges should interpret the law, not make it.

Sometimes I don't even deliberate. I just decide from the bench, it's so obvious. The beautiful part is that I have carte blanche.

When I was on the bench, I used to have a yellow pad, and I put on the pad at the beginning of the day, 'patience' and 'restraint.'

People say, 'I'm only suing for the principle of the thing,' and I reply that I can't give you principle - only money.

We wouldn't even know where to look to find the law because there is no law.
