Re: The Constitution is OLD

Buz's point was that the Supreme Court is to serve the law, justice and truth, not people, and anyone who reduces their obligation to being sensitive to people has already trashed justice.
You are trashing common sense.
Saying that judges should be sensitive to people is not at all the same as saying that justice is reduced to being sensitive to people.
Faith writes:
No, judges are to be about justice, not people.
That makes no sense at all. In a world with no people, there would be no injustice. The whole notion of justice is about people.
When Jesus told us to do unto others as you would have them do unto you, he was explaining that justice is all about people.

Then YOU please explain the symbolism of Lady Justice with the blindfold and the scales or do you just want to throw her into the trash?
I'm sorry. If you don't understand that as being all about people, then you are so far out of touch with reality that I would not know where to begin.

Re: Serving justice versus serving people
Faith writes:
Sorry, nwr, it is not about ALL people, it is about specific people. Obama doesn't want justice he want empathy to specific groups of people
Sorry, Faith, but you are quite wrong about that. I suggest you spend less time listening to the ravings of the lunatic right.
Faith writes:
Absolute total blindness to persons is the business of a judge.
And that is precisely what Obama was asking for.
If you don't understand that, it is because you have allowed yourself to be persuaded by the deliberate misconstruals by the lunatic right, misconstruals that were intended to be part of malicious and dishonest campaign to discredit Obama.
