My judicial philosophy is straightforward.

Having seen first-hand how complex and difficult the job is, I believe it vital that the president be able to focus on his never-ending tasks with as few distractions as possible.

A president who is concerned about an ongoing criminal investigation is almost inevitably going to do a worse job as president.

The earth is warming. Humans are contributing.

It's important to be able to sit together and form a government of the majority that serves everyone, and not a government of minorities that takes care of itself.

Globalisation has made us more vulnerable. It creates a world without borders, and makes us painfully aware of the limitations of our present instruments, and of politics, to meet its challenges.

I keep my distance from politics. Lots of money has been offered to me for campaigning over the years, and I have always refused. I used to be very politically aware and very opinionated, but I don't want to involve myself.

The language of politics is spoken in the first-person plural, and for Conservatives, the duty of the politician is to maintain that first-person plural in being.
