Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was on NPR today, contributing to the commentary on Obama’s comment that he wanted to appoint someone to the Supreme Court who has “empathy.”  Fredo’s contribution:

GONZALES: I do worry a little bit, well, I worry, I worry about about justices on the court making decisions based on what they think makes them feel good. I don’t think it’s fair to expect society to anticipate the outcome of a case based upon what makes a justice feel good. In essence what you’re saying, I think, is that I’m going to, I don’t care what the law says, I’m going to come out, I’m going to pursue an outcome that I think is fair and just. I’m going to rewrite the law. And I think that’s dangerous.
