>>And its not at all clear that it really is an issue of no major concern in Sotomayor's case.<< Can you show a single judgement of hers which provides evidence for that assertion ?

>>Not exactly. Its potentially positive, potentially neutral, and potentially negative. My main point is not that empathy is bad, either in general or in a judge, but that put empathic feelings ahead of the actual law is bad. My (mostly previously unstated) secondary point would be that empathy shouldn't be one of the top reasons to select or confirm a judge.<< The law is Epathy!!-lol The whole point of law is to have an empathetic society. That is the whole friggen reason for it-lol!! The law is a basket woven with empathy.
