To new justice Sonya Sotomayor

Please keep this in mind as you begin your career as an unaccountable, practically unimpeachable, lifelong Supreme Court Justice:

"It is the function of a judge not to make but to declare the law, according to the golden mete-wand of the law and not by the crooked cord of discretion."

- Edmund Burke, Irish political philosopher, politician, and statesman, 1794


Cheers!
