My judicial philosophy is fidelity to the law.

I firmly believe in the rule of law as the foundation for all of our basic rights.

Even though Article IV of the Constitution says that treaties are the 'supreme law of the land', in most instances they're not even law.

I have spent my years since Princeton, while at law school and in my various professional jobs, not feeling completely a part of the worlds I inhabit. I am always looking over my shoulder wondering if I measure up.

When you have strong views about how to approach thinking about the law, then that view is going to lead to certain results in certain situations. And so people seem to think this predictability is based on some kind of partisan political view. But it's not.

I am a New Yorker, and 7:00 A.M. is a civilized hour to finish the day, not to start it.
