I respect people who feel things passionately. I do. But when someone is a judge, that is not what they should bring to the bench. It is not really passion, except in rare instances, that serves the bench well. It is, rather, an ability to understand the law and follow it.

When I started to get involved in the crime issue, people said, it's a local issue. I said, No, there are lots of ways the federal government can help. And the best way the federal government can help, and did in the Crime Bill, is to find programs that work around the country and help them spread.
