although we sometimes take our heritage of neutral an independent judiciary for brennan, the truth is, this great tradition is under attack. the american people are rightly concerned. i am troubled by president obama's use of the empathy standard when selecting federal judges. with this view, a judge should use his or her personal feelings about a particular group or issue to decide a case. it stands in stark contrast to the impartiality that we expect in the american courtroom. if the judge is allowed to let his or her feelings for one party in the case this way his decision, has and that judge then demonstrated a bias against the other party? if a judge is allowed to inject his personal views into his interpretation of the law, does he not then have a license to rewrite the laws to suit his own preferences? i fear that this into the standard is another step down the path to a cynical, results oriented world where words and laws have no fixed meaning, where unelected judges set policy, and were constitutional limits on government power are ignored when they are inconvenient to the po
