Listening to him this morning on the radio reminds me of why I have never been more sure he is the right man for the position he holds.  A Constitutional judge who sees the law as more of a static, not to be bent by whim or "empathy".  He described the president's claim that empathy has a place in the court, as wrong.  He has pointed out he has had to face down 'feelings' in favor of rulings based on the State constitution.

He also mentioned an issue I have talked about before.  Wayne v Hathcock.  'Public GOOD' v 'Public Use' a case which overturned Poletown, and the empathy argument for 'good'.
