Empathy and Sotomayor

This idea of empathy in the law seems to be the opposite of blind justice. I want the rule of law. Consistent laws that don't change on a whim.

"You see, empathy was supposed to be inclusive – a way to initiate contact with others, instead of excluding those who don’t seem to fit."
