Applying Empathy in the SCOTUS

What is wrong with applying "empathy" to decisions rendered in the Supreme Court of the United States?

Empathy in a Supreme Court Justice -- who, by applying such empathy in their decision-making process -- is part of parcel of the Liberal doctrine of equal outcomes versus equal opportunities.

My question for such a Justice is: Empathy for whom...? The plaintiff or the defendant? How does this apply to Supreme Court rulings, anyway? What has empathy to do with the Constitution?

Diversity on the bench is simply more worthless Liberal tripe, and takes us back down exactly the wrong path. A qualified person for a job is qualified in spite of the color of their skin, their socio-economic background, their shoe size, their hair color, and their religion. If one of these criteria (or myriad others) needs to be applied to the person in order to explain their qualifications for the position, then they don't deserve it.

The shame of the whole issue is that Liberal identity politics will prevent any meaningful questioning of Judge Sotomayor's judicial qualifications, as anyone questioning her fitness for the bench will be immediately labeled 'racist' (or 'sexist'), and thus marginalized.

THAT'S WHY justice must be BLIND.
