I respect people who feel things passionately. I do. But when someone is a judge, that is not what they should bring to the bench. It is not really passion, except in rare instances, that serves the bench well. It is, rather, an ability to understand the law and follow it.

  • -- Charles Schumer 舒默

我尊重那些充满激情的人。我做的事。但当一个人是法官时,他们不应该把这个带到法官席上。并不是真正的激情,除非在极少数情况下,能很好地服务于板凳席。而是一种理解法律并遵循法律的能力。
