Mr. Morgan's 2006 bid for the Michigan Supreme Court was featured in Michigan Lawyers Weekly. The interview focused on his commitment to natural rights and belief that they must be protected more stringently than they have been in the recent past. Also discussed was his legal philosophy -- " The Constitution [and] the statutes, they are the organic documents that make up our laws," Mr. Morgan said. "The job of the court is to go back and determine what the constitution says, not what the court says the constitution says." The entire interview can be accessed by clicking here. Mr. Morgan also ran for University of Michigan Regent in 2008.
