TPM plans to cast the conservatives as hypocrites…how original .  Yeah, GHWB did describe Justice Thomas as empathetic…but he didn’t say that empathy is:

   an essential ingredient for arriving at just decisions and outcomes

 
Of course none of that really matters since conservatives and Republicans aren’t going after her empathy, or her race, or her gender.  

We are going after her on the basis of her not being fit to sit on the bench, she has had 5 of 7 cases overturned by the very same court that she hopes to be a member of.   She shows a lack of respect for the Constitutional Separation of Powers which, taken to its logical end, shows a general disrespect of the Constitution.

On substance, in retrospect, she is a poor choice for the bench in general, none the less the Supreme Court.
