Shorter Michael Gerson and Charles Krauthammer: “It’s outrageous that President Obama would suggest that empathy is a useful trait in a Supreme Court justice. And it’s outrageous that Sonia Sotomayor didn’t set aside the law to assist a sympathetic defendant who may or may not have been helped by a different ruling.”
