Judicial Philosophy

Said, "When I make a decision, it’s based on the law as written. I can interpret the law, I can use my common sense and I can consult with the Constitution, but I absolutely cannot just make up a law because it’s the decision I feel better about, or that’s going to get a better reception with the public."
