Obama: Decide the Tough Cases According to Emotion Filed under: 2008 Election, Judiciary — Patterico @ 8:57 am In David Savage’s piece on McCain, Obama, and picking Justices (criticized in this separate post), Obama once again gives his view of deciding the big cases according to emotion and not the law: “What matters at the Supreme Court is those 5% of cases that are truly difficult. In those cases, adherence to precedent and rules of construction will only get you through 25 miles of the marathon. That last mile can only be determined on the basis of one’s deepest values, one’s core concerns, one’s broader perspectives on how the world works and the depth and breadth of one’s empathy. “In those difficult cases, the critical ingredient is supplied by what is in the judge’s heart.” I don’t think any of you out there are still so pigheadedly blind as to think it doesn’t matter whether you vote for John McCain or Barack Obama. If you still think so, read every word of this article. patterico.com
