THE BLACK LAW ENFORCEMENT ORGANIZATION, PEOPLE LIKE YOUR BROTHER WHO LOVE THEIR COMMUNITIES, WHO HAVE SEEN, LIKE I HAVE, TOO MANY YOUNG MEN LYING WITH LET HOLES, BLEEDING INTO OUR PAVEMENT. THESE ARE FOLKS WHO COME FROM COMMUNITIES LIKE YOUR BROTHER KNOWS WHERE YOU TOO OFTEN SEE SIDEWALK SHRINES TO MURDERED YOUTH. I'VE TALKED TO THE WOMEN AND MEN OF NOBLE SO MANY TIMES. ANYBODY EVER ACCUSE THEM OF BEING SOFT ON CRIME? THEY UNDERSTAND THE COMPLICATED FACTORS OF CRIME IN OUR COUNTRY. AND WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY ABOUT YOU, I WON'T READ IT, IT'S JUST BEAUTIFUL. LAW ENFORCEMENT FAMILIES, MOTHER OF TWO, LAW ENFORCEMENT ORGANIZATION AFTER LAW ENFORCEMENT ORGANIZATION, VICTIMS ADVOCACY ORGANIZATION AFTER VICTIMS ADVOCACY ORGANIZATION, REPUBLICAN APPOINTED JUDGES, DEMOCRATIC APPOINTED JUDGES, THAT IS WHO IS IN YOUR CORNER. WE ARE POLITICIANS. WE HAVE A SWORN OATH RIGHT NOW. I JUST WATCHED YOU, WITH DIGNITY AND GRACE, FIELD WHAT I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IS BEHIND THOSE QUESTIONS IS THIS DOUBT THAT IS BEING SEWN. I JUST WANT AMERICA TO KNOW THAT WHEN IT COMES TO MY FAMILIES SAFETY, AND IT COMES TO NEWARK NEW JERSEY OR MY STATE, GOD, I TRUST YOU. I TRUST YOU. NOW I BROUGHT IN YOUR MOTHER AND HAVE TO GO BACK THERE. MY MOM HAS A SAYING THAT IS AWFULLY EMBARRASSING WHEN SHE TALKS ABOUT ME -- SHE SAYS SHE WILL INTRODUCE ME AND SAY BEHIND EVERY SUCCESSFUL CHILD IS AN ASTONISHED PARENT. [LAUGHTER] BUT THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR MOTHER, LOOKING AT HER, SHE DOESN'T SEEM ALL TOO ASTONISHED. SHE SEEMS LIKE VERY SLYLY, SHE KNEW THAT THIS DAY MIGHT COME. I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU THAT I HAVE DONE A LOT OF HIRING. BEFORE I WAS A -- BEFORE I WAS IN A LEGISLATIVE BODY, IRAN NEW JERSEY'S LARGEST CITY. I COULD WRITE A BOOK ABOUT HOW IT MADE ME A GOOD MANAGER. THE FIRST MISTAKE I MADE AS I WAS LOOKING FOR THE MOST TALENTED, CREDENTIALED, SKILLFUL, SMART PEOPLE TO HELP ME RUN THINGS AND I SOON LEARNED IT WASN'T ENOUGH. I MADE SOME MISTAKES IN HIRING. I BEGAN TO SEE THOSE SKILLS WHICH YOU HAVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF, IT HAS BEEN SAID SO MANY TIMES, STACKING YOU UP AGAINST OTHER SUPREME COURT JUDGES, YOU HAVE MORE QUALIFICATIONS AND CREDENTIALS THAN MANY OF THEM. BUT I LEARNED YOU SHOULD HIRE FIRST, NECESSARY CREDENTIALS ARE NOT SUFFICIENT, THAT YOU SHOULD HIRE FOR CHARACTER. THAT IS WHAT MADE ME HIRE A GREAT TEAM EVENTUALLY AND WE OPERATED SO WELL. I BELIEVE I'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW YOUR CHARACTER OVER THESE WEEKS, BUT I WANT AMERICA TO KNOW MORE ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER RIGHT NOW. I KNOW MY VALUES. BOOKER T -- EXCUSE ME, JAMES BALDWIN SAID IT -- CHILDREN ARE NEVER GOOD AT LISTENING TO THEIR ELDERS, BUT THEY NEVER FAIL TO IMITATE THEM. IF I WANT TO KNOW YOUR CHARACTER , I WANT TO HANG OUT WITH YOUR PARENTS A LITTLE BIT. LET'S DRAW THEM INTO THIS CONVERSATION. WE WON'T SWEAR THEM UNDER OATH, BUT COULD YOU SHARE WITH ME WHAT ARE THEIR BEDROCK VALUES THAT ARE MOST A PART OF YOUR VALUES THAT YOU HOPE AND PRAY ARE YOUR GRANDCHILDREN'S UNBORN GRANDCHILDREN'S VALUES. WHAT ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT VALUES YOU INHERITED FROM THOSE FOLKS OVER THERE? JUDGE JACKSON:
