His words excite me. He was asked whether he has entered a case ever prejudging how he felt about a case. He surprised Larry King, when he said that he did.
Specifically, Stephen Breyer said that to have an open mind is to "be open to changing them [your prejudgments] with argument and fact."
Breyer said that we do not come to issues with a blank slate. We need to listen to--think about--Breyer's words when we express ourselves in speech, and in writing. By doing so, we hold in proper esteem people in our lives--in our world. By doing so, we have the greatest hope of effecting change in our world for the betterment of all.
