Feelings

We have all understood that Justice Sotomayor should not introduce feelings into any argument in which law prevails. She may not have feelings about civil rights. She should not have feelings about women's issues. She should have a blind eye towards justice and precedents because the law is all about objectivity, until we start the discussion about abortion. Her opinion about this topic is paramount. We need to know which way she might be leaning and I suppose the best way to ferret this information out of her is to explore her feelings on the topic. Sordid awful feelings. What makes abortion so very different? We did not talk about capital punishment yet. We did not talk about health care. Just the A bomb. OK
