Marvelous Statement by Sen. Grassley Opposing Sotomayor
Key thought:
Quote:
|
President Obama clearly believes Judge Sotomayor measures up to his “empathy” standard, which encourages judges to make use of their personal politics, feelings and preferences. This radical “empathy” standard stands in stark opposition to what most of us understand to be the proper role of the judiciary. To her credit, at the hearing Judge Sotomayor repudiated President Obama’s “empathy” standard. But Judge Sotomayor’s record, both in and outside of the courtroom, reveal to me a judicial philosophy that bestows a pivotal role to personal preferences and beliefs in her judicial method.
