"A quality of empathy"

[oscardeuce]

Feeelings..... nothing more than feelings....
trying to select the best judge.
Apparently Mr Obama thinks feelings are ore improtant than the law and the Constitution in picking a candidate for the Supreme Court.
It does not matter how it feels, or how it affects people. All that matters is the Constitution and whether or not laws follow the Constitution. That is the only job of the Supreme Court.

Not unlike his "feel good" attitude toward dealing with terrorists. If we'll all just make nice and not hurt the terrorists, they won't hurt us. Yeh, right. This guy scares me more every day.

Just like the fools saying we need a woman, minority etc. on the court. We only need someone who can do the job. If you want to use that criteria as a tie breaker that is fine but that is more about making those groups feeling better than giving the candidate the ability to do the job. It is more important to elect people who have empathy to make the laws, not judge the laws.
