TP: I came in at a time when no Republican was supposed to win down-ballot. It's easy now for somebody. You just have to get the party to endorse you and make sure that for some reason the straight-ticket vote doesn't cross over and X your name out, and you're going to win as the Republican nominee. I think that's easy but I don't think it's as good for a judge, because I clearly had to enunciate my message in a way that would build a coalition that was not going to be present at the top of the ticket. So I think my credentials as someone who's against partisan judicial elections are pretty strong...

He was a "10th Amendment conservative" ("The powers not delegated to the Un...

Cynthia Gray, Director AJS Center for Judicial Ethics James J. Alfini, President and Dean South Texas College of Law Honorable Dana Fabe, Chief Justice Alaska Supreme Court Gerald Stern, Special Counsel to the New York Judicial Institute Honorable David J. Waxse, U.S. Magistrate Judge, U.S. District Court Kansas City, Kansas Cynthia Gray: I noticed as I was teaching and reading how often the issue of impartiality came up in every different context of the Code of Judicial Conduct. Even though judges may have certain moral values and political views, these values should be informed and tempered by a basic understanding and appreciation of the core democratic values, again, of the rule of law, judicial independence, and judicial impartiality.
