...He might well have gone into politics, ... He felt he had the luxury of time.

He had been governor of California. But he said, 'Many of the things I learned while I was governor might be very helpful to the Supreme Court,' because while the court to some extent draws on large theory, it's also a very political place. You have to form coalitions. And you also have to be pretty exposed to recent issues, and that's something that a former governor is.

This a person who can change the life of all of us, really, in the snap of a finger, by writing one word. And it's something that Americans are not as aware of because we don't hear that much about these people. We don't see them interact.

He felt that if he was able to build enormous support for fighting poverty, then that wouldn't seem something that was liberal and off on the left.
