"

When a judge walks into the room, and everybody stands up, you__e not standing up to that guy, you__e standing up to the robe that he__ wearing and the role that he__ going to play. What makes him worthy of that role is his integrity, as a representative of the principles of that role, and not some group of prejudices of his own. So what you__e standing up to is a mythological character. I imagine some kings and queens are the most stupid, absurd, banal people you could run into, probably interested only in horses and women, you know. But you__e not responding to them as personalities, you__e responding to them in their mythological roles. When someone becomes a judge, or President of the United States, the man is no longer that man, he__ the representative of an eternal office; he has to sacrifice his personal desires and even life possibilities to the role that he now signifies.
