Obama Overcomes Yet Another False Choice

Obama wants court pick to have 'empathy' - Washington Times:

"'I will seek someone who understands that justice isn't about some abstract legal theory or footnote in a casebook; it is also about how our laws affect the daily realities of people's lives, whether they can make a living and care for their families, whether they feel safe in their homes and welcome in their own nation,' Mr. Obama said.

Still, he also said he will look for someone who 'who respects the integrity of the judicial process and the appropriate limits of the judicial role.'"

We don't have to make the false choice of someone who respects the law and seeks to interpret it faithfully vs someone who legislates from the bench. When you are Obama, you can have both at the same time!
