Louie Gohmert: I feel like God puts things in our lives to help prepare us for the future.  And I didn’t expect to ever be a judge.  But my late mother was brilliant.  She told me all through the ’80s — this was after I’d done the four years out of the army from a scholarship at Texas A&M — but she’d say, you know, God meant for you to be a public servant, and you’d be a great judge.  I went — mother, I don’t want to be a judge.  I make more money than judges.  I couldn’t sit and listen to most of these guys around here.  They’re not very good.
(Laughter)
You know, some are great.  But oh, my.
So anyway, it was after she died in ’91 that I started thinking about being a judge.  Because my mother was so smart.  But a few months after she died, I get a call from the judge of a court — I had a breach of contract lawsuit coming up in about two weeks.  And the judge says — and for those of you who don’t know, it’s not appropriate to call a lawyer for one side of a lawsuit without the other being on the phone or being present.  He says — that’s a mighty fine-looking woman you had in my court the other day.  You think she’d go out with me?  And for those of you who don’t know, that’s not appropriate.
