Well said Senator Hatch, my feelings are the same.

Is it a judge's role to do justice or to apply the law?

If the law is applied faithfully and equally, that is justice.

Well well. A Senator who does his homework. Good for you Orrin.

Judge Sotomayor denied Mr. Didden even a chance to argue his case. She said that the 3-year period for filing suit began not when the village actually took his property, but when the village earlier had merely announced its general development plan. In other words, Mr. Didden should have sued over the taking of his property before his property had been taken. But had he done so then, he would certainly have been denied his day in court because his legal rights had not yet been violated. This catch-22 amounts to a case of dismissed if he did, and dismissed if he did not. Once again, Judge Sotomayor gave inadequate protection to a fundamental constitutional right.
