First and foremost, WGAS what a politican says? More importantly, what will congress approve of? The Prez can SUGGEST anyone he chooses but if congress refuses to confirm it, well, kinda moot, isn't it?

Second, I would think that someone with a clear understanding of the law is more important. After all we are trying to get a judge in place and not an empathetic or an activist, whatever that means. The reason we get a judge is for someone who knows the law and does not inject his or her opinion, however well intentioned it might be. We need somebody impartial not someone with a leaning one way or the other.
