Eugene Lawson for the Supreme Court
President Obama says that he wants to nominate a Supreme Court Justice who has "empathy" as opposed to a jurist who makes decisions based on "some abstract legal theory." Not surprisingly, I'm not the only one troubled by his selection criteria. Thomas Sowell has written an excellent 3 part series "Empathy" Versus Law" (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3).
"My objective was social progress, human brotherhood and love. Love, Ms. Taggart. That is the key to everything. If men learned to love one another, it would solve all their problems"
