Now, it's viewed by many people, at 5-4, to be too conservative. So you shouldn't take a given position because you may be unhappy with a particular decision, as long as those decisions are in the ballpark. I have read the decisions that are so controversial, and I didn't necessarily agree with all of it. But they are legitimate decisions, they're well-reasoned decisions. They are close cases.
Reasonable people can disagree on how they ought to come out.
And to dismantle a system, based on a couple of decisions at a given time that people don't like, would do a great disservice to this state. The Bar is well-served by various officers and members of the board and have done a good job. I would be very hurt if that were somehow tinkered with in any significant way, based on a political agenda or something of that sort. . . . I would hope each of you would seriously consider what you're about. . . . This is something that cannot be taken lightly and cannot be taken solely on politics or political whim or mood.
