Is empathy really a requirement for

a Supreme Court Justice as the President wants to appoint?  The oath of office does'nt say anything about it, neither does the definition of the judiciary branch.  Here's the oath:


"I, [NAME], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as [TITLE] under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God."

And here's the definition of the judiciary branch:


The United States federal courts comprises the Judiciary Branch of government organized under the Constitution and laws of the federal government of the United States. 


The judiciary (also known as the judicial system or judicature) is the system of courts which interprets and applies the law in the name of the sovereign or state. The judiciary also provides a mechanism for the resolution of disputes. Under the doctrine of the separation of powers, the judiciary generally does not make law or enforce law, but rather interprets law and applies it to the facts of each case.

Nowhere do I find the word "empathy" in either the oath or the definition of the judiciary branch or description of the Supreme Court however, Obama is bound and determined to add "empathy" to his list of requirements of a Supreme Court Judge. 


Here's a good editorial (yes, I know it's from a conservative) about empathy vs the rule of law.  I found it quite interesting and expresses my viewpoint as well. 


I'm sure I'll get criticized for it, but I hope I won't get attacked.  I'm asking a legitimate question and would like to see legitimate answers.


 


You have my empathy. I had been seriously thinking

of relocating down south, but I think it's prudent to steer clear of it because I don't want to live amongst people like that any more than they would want me to live amongst them.  Feels very much like a new age of segregation, only based on religion/politics instead of race.  If you visit the Conservative board, it's clear to see the tactics they use, and it shows depth of character to me.  I've made a list of people who aren't worth the click of a mouse because they've proven themselves to have no credibility, and I don't feel like wasting time.


People's views vary on a number of issues, and I usually really enjoy reading opposing views if they're presented in an intelligent, credible manner without insults or attacks or falsehoods.


Anyway, it's great to see someone who's a NICE, cheerful, venomless person post, regardless of your views.  I hope you keep visiting.


People with a lot more understanding and empathy than

I think it should be a requirement
It is selfish and foolish to expect your community to provide for you without giving something back. If we want America to be better and the next generation to not be apathetic, then we must get involved and encourage our kids to do the same. Freedom is not free. Besides, the kids would get to pick what they want to do. Lots of organizations mandate service as part of their membership and its not as if any level of government has any money to provide these services anymore.
because it is a requirement --
he is still in charge of running this country. They go where he goes.
That will be an "obama" requirement to getting

I heard work requirement mentioned a long time ago - nm

O Changed it from mandatory Comm Serv requirement after the outcry
MANDATED community service is not acceptable to me.

Florida has Bright Futures, a scholarship assistance program for State schools. This requires community service. My son did it, and may daughter will do it as well.
BUT it is VOLUNTARY .. you choose to do it or not ..

rewards for service, yes --

mandated, no way; kids will not get anything (or the vast majority anyway) if they are forced to do it ...

ps - I believe in Comm. Service and my kids both do it .. but because they want to do so.
