I'd model myself on a cross between Gorsuch and Sotomayor--textualism, but not originalism, and vindicating the causes of the vulnerable whenever possible. I'd probably cultivate an unusually expansive understanding of the Equal Protection Clause and/or of statutory civil rights law to make up for my very low view of substantive due process.

I also view the professionalism, dignity, and apoliticism of the court as very important.

I'd quote emo lyrics in my decisions.

Pope Francis quoted a sixties bossa nova song in his recent encyclical, so why not you too? I'd be all for this.
