>>not an issue of confusing empathy with sentimentality. Deciding primarily based on either would be outside of the judges proper responsibility. Having empathy, and perhaps sentimentality, is fine, maybe even good. The issue is whether either takes precedence over the actual law.<<

The law has to consist of empathy and sentiminality. It is human law for humans. Empathy is our strength and compass that we know points us in the correct direction.

The law is also by necesity of relativity, existential i.e. each persons persective is the only reality that exists.

Well empathy is what makes us human, so this debates is friggen nuts-lol.
