Gloria Borger inexplicably takes right-wing claims at face value

Gloria Borger on CNN, moments ago: "Conservatives believe that empathy is about feelings, and that feelings have no place when you're deciding the law."

No. Conservatives say they believe that. But in reality, they support conservative judges who -- they say -- demonstrate empathy.

Look, this is really simple: conservatives have been consistently lying about Sonia Sotomayor. They've been lying about more or less everything for quite some time.  There is simply no reason whatsoever to assume that what they are saying is true, consistent, or principled.
