“Just this past week, we saw what Barack Obama said about judges,” Bond said. “He said, ‘I’m tired of these judges who want to follow what the Founding Fathers said and the Constitution. I want judges who have a heart, have an empathy for the teenage mom, the minority, the gay, the disabled. We want them to show empathy. We want them to show compassion.’”

Obama sure as hell never said anything approaching the sentence in bold. It was flat-out smear. Textbook slander, really.

1. What an asshole!

[Muttocracy]

2. Also bizarre that we want our judges to have no hearts. nt
