Someone With Empathy For The Supreme Court!
What Does President Obama Mean?
When the drafters of the US Constitution sat to decide the course for the new America, they did so in the light of current reality that existed at that time. With a vision for the future, and hope that whatever they eventually came up with, will provide salient guidelines for the Freedoms, Liberty, and Rule Of Law they envisaged for all Americans.
Therefore, whatever choice president Obama makes to fill the forthcoming position of the US Supreme Court, he/she would be expected to understand current reality, and how the Constitution could accommodate this new reality.
When he mentioned someone with empathy, I believe he meant some or all of what I just outlined.
But I am merely speculating here, and I would not presume to know how the president thinks on this one.
However, I also believe that another woman would be a necessary addition to the Supreme Court, thus making for a more inclusive view or contribution to this body.
