Supreme Court Justice David Souter is stepping down in June....amazing opportunity for Obama to choose the RIGHT person! I don't see him choosing an extreme left kinda person...please don't choose an extreme ANYTHING...and I love his stance on compassion, as long as it's tempered with keeping the individual accountable. I read a disturbing article about Judge David Hamilton, Obama's first judicial appointment to the appeals court called 'What's the matter with empathy?' (Wendy Long with NRO). Hamilton, formerly chief judge of the district court in Indianapolis, has run roughshod over rational compassion and has practiced what Long calls 'lawless empathy' in some of the cases he ruled in. The Washington Post says 'The White House held out Hamilton as a prototype for the nominees Obama will seek as he reshapes the federal appeals courts' so my project today is to research this guy - I don't want to base my opinion on one article, as compelling and persuasive as it is. I love Obama - I've supported him throughout his candidacy and agree with much of his platform (abortion is my primary bone of contention) and want to believe he'll make the right decision, WITH God's help!
