A judge should prioritize understanding the personal circumstances of the individuals appearing before them over strictly applying the law without context.

“The lesson was that being a judge is much more about the person in front of you than it is about the law.”

The Supreme Court should avoid being influenced by institutionalist concerns and instead focus on interpreting the law.

“you know, he's an institutionalist meant to protect the Supreme Court. That's not your job. That's not your job in the actual decisionmaking.”
