“Obama on judges: Protect the powerless”
Here is Senator Obama describing what he will look for in a judge if elected president:
[W]hat I do want is a judge who is sympathetic enough to those who are on the outside, those who are vulnerable, those who are powerless, those who can’t have access to political power and as a consequence can’t protect themselves from being being dealt with sometimes unfairly, that the courts become a refuge for justice. That’s been its historic role. That was its role in Brown v Board of Education.
Except for unborn babies, of course.
Those, you can kill with impunity (even after they’re born).
