People without social emotions like empathy are not objective decision-makers.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/objective
ob⋅jec⋅tive
–adjective
5. not influenced by personal feelings, interpretations, or prejudice; based on facts; unbiased: an objective opinion.
6. intent upon or dealing with things external to the mind rather than with thoughts or feelings, as a person or a book.
"Empathy" is just an excuse for judges not to uphold the law. Empathy is a good quality for a legislator tasked with writing and ammending the law, but not something I want to see in judges tasked with upholding to law in an imopartial manner.
Justice should be blind, we don't need to lift her blindfold.
