While his credentials are certainly outstanding, I am particularly impressed with his character and his values which are deeply rooted in Wyoming. He has the right judicial philosophy — he knows the importance of interpreting the law while not legislating from the bench.<ref name=casper/>

Republican U.S. Senator [[Mike Enzi]] also hailed Honaker's nomination: "[He] will be an excellent jurist . . . He has the experience and the temperament to serve our state and the judiciary well. . . . He knows the difference between legislating—from his experience as a Wyoming representative—and judging—from all his years of court work. Since the criteria is fairness, I want to assure you, Richard is among the fairest people I know."<ref name=enzi>[[U.S. Senator]] [[Mike Enzi]] website; article on Honaker nomination to U.S. District Court no longer on-line.</ref>
