Here's the actual Potter Steward quote...

The mark of a good judge,'' Potter once said, ``is a judge whose opinion you can read and . . . have no idea if the judge was a man or woman, Republican or Democrat, a Christian or Jew . . . You just know he or she was a good judge.''

Never said "muslim".

Skerry quotes Potter Stewart's line in his stump speech -- found it from a March 8 speech in Des Moines.

Thank you, I wondered about that.
