As to my the statements that I've been reversed, you know, I guess when my opponent has a few more years of judicial experience, she'll understand that being reversed is a part of being an independent judiciary and the Supreme Court. The 4 liberal majority on this Supreme Court was reversed 9 to 0 by the United States Supreme Court in a case about religious freedom, Catholic charities. I have a really good friend who's a judge and a mentor to me throughout my, my 12 years on this bench. And she said, you're actually not a true judge until you've been reversed. (07:54–08:05)
