Who said it?
"When I get a case about discrimination, I have to think about people in my own family who suffered discrimination because of their ethnic background or because of religion or because of gender. And I do take that into account."
Sonia Sotomayor? No, Samuel Alito. And yet the same Senate conservatives who had no problem with this position in 2006, when they confirmed Alito's nomination to the Supreme Court, now hypocritically insist that a Supreme Court Justice should never practice empathy when making their judicial decisions, thus making Sotomayor (who has professed similar empathy) somehow unfit for the Court. Oh, please.
