1. Around the country, we've heard people stress the importance of "a fair and impartial judiciary," How would you define a fair and impartial judge and how would you work to ensure your impartiality?I believe that all persons are entitled to justice and a fair day in court. Neither political party has a right to control the courts, which are to remain truly independent from political pressures and outside influence. The indigent self-represented individual has as much right to access the courts as does the Fortune 500 Corporation. Often, members of the minority and those with unpopular views need the protection of the courts the most. It is equally true that large corporations cannot be viewed merely as deep pockets and easy targets. The law applies equally to all, and emotions and sympathies should not control the outcome. I believe that the courts must remain independent and not controlled by popular opinion or particular ideology (Right or Left, Conservative or Liberal, Republican or Democrat), in order to ensure that the rights of all parties are protected, and that public confidence in the courts remains strong. |
