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 found out I got this job I cried of course - I'm a girly-girl - and then I called my dad and he cried too. On so many levels this is a thrill for me.
