"I learned from him what it looks like to have passion for the rule of law every day, something he continues to do at age 80 there on the Fifth Circuit. To Justice Terrence O'Donnell, who hired me to be a law clerk in Ohio when I returned to practice in that state, was probably a low ebb of my life.
