Today's DJ features Conservative Stalwart Reflects on His Tenure, in which Justice Baxter (age 75 and looking sporty with his fancy vintage autos) expresses no regrets about leaving the court and allowing the Governor to appoint "someone potentially far more liberal."

He also shared thoughts on Justices Lucas, Richardson, and the current Chief.
