The Second Amendment Has A Preamble About

My Dissenting Opinions, Like My Briefs, Are Intended To Persuade. And Sometimes One Must Be Forceful About Saying How Wrong The Court's Decision Is.

The Second Amendment Is Outdated In The Sense That Its Function Has Become Obsolete.

When Contemplated In Its Extreme, Almost Any Power Looks Dangerous.

I Have Yet To See A Death Case Among The Dozen Coming To The Supreme Court On Eve-of-execution Stay Applications In Which The Defendant Was Well Represented At Trial... People Who Are Well Represented At Trial Do Not Get The Death Penalty.

Work Hard On Each Opinion, But Once The Case Is Decided, Don't Look Back; Go On To The Next Case And Give It Your All. It's Not Productive To Worry About What's Out And Released, Over And Done. That's Advice I Now Give To People New To The Judging Business.
