"[W]e need somebody who's got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it's like to be a young teenage mom. 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."
--Barack Obama, speaking to Planned Parenthood in July 2007.
The most qualified judges in an Obama administration will be the ones who can feel your pain, not those who care about a strict interpretation of the constitution.
