Supreme Court Justice – Empathy – Obama’s Soliloquy

Before making his nomination, President BHO read Hamlet’s Soliloquy:

“To empathize, or not to empathize, is that the criteria I use?
Whether ’tis nobler in the view of the populace to have a judge that empathizes
Or take arms against a sea of voters.
And by opposing end the problem no matter what the voters say?
To die politically, to sleep
No more, and by a sleep to say I end the problem.
The heart-aches and the thousand natural shocks
That I am heir to, ’tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished – to die politically, to sleep
To sleep; perchance to dream,; ay,
there’s the rub.

There is no truth to the rumor that he made his selection after having a nightmare.
