Seriously Utah, if you guys can elect a good guy like Jason Chaffetz, you can vote out an idiot like Hatch.  Anyway, Hatch says this,

The senator said that in a phone conversation yesterday, Obama sought to reassure him that when he spoke last week of picking a justice with “empathy” for ordinary Americans, he didn’t mean he would select someone who would focus on pushing their political views into the law.

“That’s language that only applies to real activist justices,” Hatch said. “He assured me that’s not what he meant when he talks about empathy; he is talking about a judge who has a heart but still lives with in the framework of the law,” the senator said. “That was good.”

Hatch also said Obama told him “he is pragmatic about it. He thinks most people will be happy” with his choice.
