as a justice, he was so sharp and so brilliant and always brought independent. he was not somebody, we were talking him through the courts and liberals and conservatives, he was sometimes difficult to pigeon hole. it really sums it up, he approached every case with an open light. that was reality and not just rhetoric. every case he would dive in the record and sometimes come out in surprising ways and he had just tremendous intellectual integrity. >> he drafted his own opinions. he would give them to the clerk. it is a little bit of a funny feeling a year or two, he'll hand you his draft, what do you say? nice try. these were complete opinions, footnotes and everything. he strongly encouraged a lot of back and forth and he'll give you the draft and would say do whatever you want with it.
