“As a judge, I do not have a political platform. I am not a political person. Right and left,
religious and secular, rich and poor, man and woman, disabled and nondisabled, all are
equal in my eyes. All are human beings, created in the image of the Creator. I will protect
the human dignity of each. I do not aspire to power. I do not seek to rule. I am aware of
the chains that bind me as a judge.
