Judge recalls key rulings from his 50 years on federal bench

In this Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2017, Judge Damon J. Keith is interviewed in his office in Detroit. The 95-year-old from Detroit, the only African-American among six current federal judges who have served 50 or more years according to the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, still hears cases about four times a year at the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati. His approach – in or out of the spotlight, on or off the bench – is the same: Fight for the Constitution, not with each other. (AP Photo/Carlos Osorio)
