Abstract

I understand entirely the desire of everyone to want to know the views that I might subscribe to personally, and get me to make commitments about how I'd rule in future cases. . . . I'm not saying there's any improper questions. There are only improper answers. And as a judge, as a sitting judge, I'm bound by cano[n]s of ethics. . . . Those cano[n]s are important. They're important to me because if--if I did make a bunch of campaign promises here, what's that mean to the independent judiciary? What does that mean to the litigants in front of it? What does that mean for the future of this country? Those things are important to me, and there's a long line of judges who come before me and this is an unbroken chain and I don't want to be the weak link. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
