President Obama is looking for an empathetic Supreme Court Justice.  He says,

I will seek someone who understands that justice isn’t about some abstract legal theory or footnote in a casebook; it is also about how our laws affect the daily realities of people’s lives, whether they can make a living and care for their families, whether they feel safe in their homes and welcome in their own nation.  I view that quality of empathy, of understanding and identifying with people’s hopes and struggles, as an essential ingredient for arriving at just decisions and outcomes.

I agree, these are great requirements for a supreme court justice.  We should all strive to be more empathetic.  Here’s my method.  Remember that in every interaction with people that someone loves them in the same way that you love the people who are most important to you.  Treat each person the way that you want people to treat your loved ones.
