Obama on judges

From the Constitutional law professor, in last night's debate:

I will look for those judges who have an outstanding judicial record, who have the intellect, and who hopefully have a sense of what real-world folks are going through....So this is going to be an important issue. I will look for those judges who have an outstanding judicial record, who have the intellect, and who hopefully have a sense of what real-world folks are going through.

I think that it's important for judges to understand that if a woman is out there trying to raise a family, trying to support her family, and is being treated unfairly, then the court has to stand up, if nobody else will. And that's the kind of judge that I want.

Uh, has he not heard of separation of powers? The role of the judge: to interpret the laws, not to make them? Or be like: oh, this is SO unfair, Miss Single Mom. Let me make things "right" for you. Oh, it will be a LONG four years!
