   Next time you’re an innocent bystander passenger in a car pulled over for not signalling a turn, please consider who the activist judges are. It’s all Mosaic Law with the Righteuoser Than Thou. Whose ox is gored?

   “Mom, where did the elephant go?”

   “Oh, I think he’s hibernating for 4 years.”

   “But what’s hibernating?”

   “I think it’s when you whine ‘cause no one’s paying attention to you.”

   “Oh.”

   Hyper partisan politics without compromise is foolish.

   A triumph of Western Civilization was the discovery of the rule of law superceding the rule of men. Selecting judges based on “empathy” rather than on their legal judgment is a step backwards. Imagine having to go to court to protect your rights and needing to worry whether the judge likes you or not.

   I’m pretty sure that estimations of judicial empathy have nothing to do with whether or not a judge “likes you”, pschearer.

   tpenna: For your sake I hope any judge you ever face has empathy for you. But if he doesn’t like you and thus feels none of that wonderful empathy, you’re in trouble. Perhaps I didn’t make my point clear enough. Judicial decisions must be made on reasoned judgment, not emotional considerations.

    Empathy: the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. (Compact Oxford English Dictionary). No surprise pschearer has it all screwed up- empathy, not antipathy. Just like it was no surprise the idiot right winger at Fox “News” got their knickers in a twist over one simple word; reading into it a host of boogeymen paranoia. pschearer, you have a lot of gall to talk about reasoned decisions, not emotional considerations. You’ve never shown reasoned or even informed opinions here. Emotions and paranoid delusions are all the right wing is running on these days

    Now, now, foxglove 16. Let’s have some empathy for pschearer. The concept of reasoned empathy is hard to grasp. Not guilty by reason of too much reason and not enough empathetic humanity.
