Justice or Empathy

Barrack Obama has stated that he will select a judge based on whether he or she has empathy. This is the exact opposite of what a judge should be judged by. The important roll of judges is to decide based on the rule of law and the constitution. Not on sympathy or empathy with specific groups or causes.

I see Obama's stated plan on how he will select a judge a disaster for this country. One of the things that happens when judges are confirmed is that they are questioned on how they interpret the law. If Obama's criteria is that they will overlook the rule of law to rule in favor of specific groups then we are in deep trouble. The basis and foundation of our society will crumble under such corruption by the third branch of our government.
