5. Do you agree with the US Supreme Court’s statement in Dobbs v. Jackson, 597 U.S. ___ (2022), that "[l]ike the infamous decision in Plessy v. Ferguson, Roe [v. Wade] was also egregiously wrong and on a collision course with the Constitution from the day it was decided"? -* I respectfully decline to answer this question. As a Common Pleas Judge and certainly as a Justice of the Supreme Court, it is vital that I remain impartial and unbiased with regard to issues that may come before me. While I believe that responding to this question would not cause me to be biased, it is reasonable to think that answering this question might be perceived as undermining my impartiality, and as a result, this might lead to disqualification under Rule 2.11 of the Code of Judicial Conduct. As Judge, it is my duty to decide cases and to avoid statements or actions that could knowingly put me in a situation that invites recusal or that casts any doubt upon my fairness and impartiality.
6. Do you agree with the US Supreme Court’s statement in Troxel v. Granville, 530 U.S. 57, 65-66 (2000), and Prince v. Massachusetts, 321 U.S. 158, 166 (1944), that "the custody, care and nurture of the child reside first in the parents, whose primary function and freedom include preparation for obligations the state can neither supply nor hinder"? -* I respectfully decline to answer this question.
