'Big Heart'

Yahoo! News reported U.S. Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid urged President Bush on Saturday to say "no to the far right" and nominate to the U.S. Supreme Court someone who will rule with "an open mind and a big heart." "We need an independent thinker who will follow the Constitution, not a knee-jerk conservative crusader who will march in lock-step to the tune of partisan pressure groups," Reid of Nevada said in his party's weekly radio address.

Which is it?Do you want an open mind (someone to think for themselves) or a big heart (a bleeding heart liberal?) Do you want an independent thinker (who will make up laws never passed by a legislature) or someone who will follow the Constitution (which is what Bush said he was looking for).
Kathryn Jean Lopez blogged ...only if he has a "big heart." That's Harry Reid's requirement for the Court. And don't get me started on his "open mind" requirement. (I know there's a cartoon scene ready-made for that one.) Harry Reid clearly wants Barney for SCOTUS

Hrairoo blogged Harry Reid and the other democrats want a Supreme Court nominee with "a big heart." I would prefer one with a large brain.
