President Obama's articulated criteria for his nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court is: "We need somebody who's got the heart to recognize -- the empathy to recognize what it's like to be a young teenage mom, the empathy to understand what it's like to be poor or African-American or gay or disabled or old. And that's the criteria by which I'm going to be selecting my judges..."
A judge is supposed to be dispassionate, rule on the law and on the merits of the case. They are not to rule based on how they "feel" or to legislate from the bench.
