    You certaintly inferred same. No surprise that you won't admit that.

    So you opinion is that judges should not make decisions soley on the law?

    Why are you so shy to admit you want liberal Judges to impose your liberalism on the masses?

    Wisdom, and especially compassion, are highly subjective terms. I surely do not want our judges substituting their own subjective view of the world for the law or the Constitution.

    If you watch hearings for Supreme Court nominees, everyone is at least on the surface trying to be sure the future justice will not do that very thing. It's the highly partisan folks who hope they will find a candidate who will ignore the law and insert partisan policy (read: wisdom and compassion) into his or her decisions.

    Like Roe v. Wade.

    I have "inferred" nothing of the sort. You may have incorrectly "inferred" that from my statement but I did NOT "imply" any such thing. Your inferences are your problem, not mine.

    my opinion is that judges should adjudicate and protect the rights of the minority and attempt to interpret the intentions of the founding fathers using the constitution as their guide.

    That is one of the foundations of liberalism. Impose the rights of the minority on the majority

    Libs want liberal Judges to create laws so they do not have to debate the issues, or give the people a say on the issue

    Which has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that many Democrats and liberals cheer when judges make rulings that are not based on, or are sometimes directly against, the law, which is outside of their jurisdiction. It is the job of the legislature, not the judiciary, to make new law.

    what you claim as "outside their jurisdiction" is really a matter for the courts to decide! sorry.

    So the courts get to decide what their own jurisdiction is? Isn't that directly against both the Constitution and the principle of checks and balances?

    Everytime libs lose a gay marriage vote, they run to a liberal Judge to toss out the votes

    The libs on the USSC ignored the US Constitution and ruled local government can take your home for PRIVATE delvelopment so property tax revenue can increase

    Just a couple examples of why liberals want more liberal Judges on the Courts
