You wanna be a judge or potentially a justice. Does that bother you when people just label you like that? It actually does. And with respect to political parties, ever since, well, I've won. I've never been a member of any political party. When I work for the Department of Justice, you really can't be. And when you're a judge or a judicial candidate, you cannot be a member of a political party. (02:39–02:42)
