He said,"I trust that I shall have the courage to vote as I judge best."

VOA: special.2010.01.28

In other words, as the judge said, what's always moral isn't necessarily against the law and while I don't think that necessity justifies theft or murder or any illegal act, at some point your degree of necessity does, in fact, exonerate you from any guilt.

换言之，正如法官常说的，情有可原，未必不可法外容情,当然我不认为，一句情有可原,就能为盗窃，谋杀以及其他违法行为正名，但有时，情有可原的程度,确实可能法外容情，赦免你的罪行。

I know to be a judge, you can't just become a judge, you usually have to practice as a lawyer first.

就我所知，你不能一开始就成为法官，你必须先成为一名律师。
