Political Beliefs
Political Philosophy
To my mind, there is only one legitimate judicial philosophy, and that is to fairly and justly apply the law as written to the facts proven in the case. These are the principles that will guide my decision-making. Having any other judicial philosophy leads to result-oriented decisions in which a judge’s individual philosophy shades his or her decisions. That is dangerous, produces unfairness and is a rebuke to the legitimate law making prerogatives of the voters, the legislature and the higher courts.
