While he didn’t use those exact words that’s pretty much what he means.
“When applying the law, the role of judges is not to impose their own view as to the best policy choices for society but to faithfully and accurately determine the policy choices already made by the people and embodied in the law,” McCain said. “The judicial role is necessarily limited and one that requires restraint and humility.”
The McCain Web site offers the promise that his “judicial appointees will understand that the federal government was intended to have limited scope, and that federal courts must respect the proper role of local and state governments.”
Obama, meanwhile, has said he wants to appoint judges who have “empathy.”
“We need somebody who’s got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it’s like to be a young teenage mom,” Obama told a Planned Parenthood conference in Washington, D.C., in 2007 “The empathy to understand what it’s like to be poor, or African-American, or gay, or disabled, or old. And that’s the criteria by which I’m going to be selecting my judges.”
Which is just his way of saying he’ll appoint judges who support welfare, abortion, affirmative action quotas and gay marriage.
What’s really sad is that Obama’s desire for judges who follow the Constitution is non existent.
