“Judge Roth, whom I have been privileged to know for almost as long as I have been in Delaware, whose husband served here in the Senate for some 30 years and was my predecessor, typifies everything a judge ought to be--smart, knows the law, adheres to the law, uncommonly fairminded, treats those who come before her, whether they are on either side of an argument, with respect, has a reputation for providing judicial temperament, a forum where justice can occur. She is somebody who works hard, somebody who has a wonderful sense of humor. Sometimes when people don those black robes, they turn in their sense of humor, but she has never lost hers.”
