It is not easy to stand up against your constituents or your friends or colleagues or your community and take a tough stand for something you believe is right. Because you always want to keep working and live to fight another battle and it might cost you your career.

There are times not to flirt. When you're sick. When you're with children. When you're on the witness stand.
