Comments from the White House over the replacement of Supreme Court Justice David Souter, Obama explained the next justice will need to show empathy.
Since when is that a qualification for a Supreme Court Justice? As most rational people know, Liberals try to legislate the law from the bench, while Conservatives interpret existing law. And this quote by Obama fits right in with the "legislating from the bench" mantra.
Liberals denounce conservatives to the bench because they say these nominees were tagged as ”insensitive” because they did not find a way to conform the law around a favorable outcome for these groups. These groups being minorities, handicapped, women, gays, etc.
The fact of the matter is, each case should be judged for its own merits. Not so because we have empathy for ones current position in life.
