Sotomayor: "Empathy" in Action

Nothing demonstrates the fatal dangers from judicial "empathy" more than Judge Sotomayor's decision in a 2008 case involving firemen who took an exam for promotion. After the racial mix of those who passed that test turned out to be predominantly white, with only a few blacks and Hispanics, the results werethrown out.
All things being equal, who knew she could do it better than say...me...or you...just b/c she's a Latina woman and I'm a white man. I always thought the better person for the job should get the job regardless of skin color or background but what do I know, I'm just a conservative that thinks you should earn what you get out of life.
