Probably Not the "Empathy" Obama Has in Mind

I agree with the President that we need a Supreme Court justice with "empathy." I'd like this justice to have empathy for the individual over the brutality, insensitivity and bureaucracy of the state. I'd like this justice to have empathy for the cause of freedom, as opposed to the advancing march of government control. I'd like this justice to have empathy for the original American Constitution, which stated that powers not explicitly granted the government in the Constitution belong to the people, meaning to individuals themselves. I'd like to see empathy for the sovereignty of the individual over the militancy of government. I'd like empathy extended to those who believe that rights belong to persons, not to governments. Any candidates available?
