“When you grow up in a family like mine, with a father who is a lawyer and a judge; thinking like a lawyer and challenging the status quo is just what comes naturally. I’ve been arguing at the dinner table about civil liberties since I was six years old. I take the Constitution very seriously, and I enjoy helping people defend and assert their rights.”
