I'm Not Any Kind Of A Bigot,

My Parents Grew Up In Poor Families Where Little English Was Spoken, They Both Went To College And Became Teachers. They Believed That Anything Was Possible With Hard Work, And They Particularly Stressed The Importance Of Education. They Instilled That Same Belief In My Sister And Me.

When I Entered College, I Thought That I Wanted To Be A Lawyer, But By The Time I Was Set To Graduate, I Was Not Too Sure Of That.

Justice Sandra Day O'connor Has Been A Pioneer, And Her Dedicated Service On The Supreme Court Will Never Be Forgotten. And The People Of The Country Certainly Owe Her A Great Debt For The Service That She Has Provided.

If I'm Confirmed I'll Be Myself.

When I Was Sworn In As A Judge Of The Court Of Appeals, I Took An Oath. I Put My Hand On The Bible And I Swore That I Would Administer Justice Without Respect To Persons, That I Would Do Equal Right To The Poor And To The Rich, And That I Would Carry Out My Duties Under The Constitution And The Laws Of The United States.
