Justice Oprah?

You want empathy?

We don't know whether she's on President Obama's short list, but nearly one in four Democrats thinks television personality Oprah Winfrey would make a good Supreme Court justice.

So says Fox News, which surveyed 900 registered voters on May 12-13 on a variety of subjects, including the Supreme Court vacancy. Overall, 16 percent of respondents thought Winfrey would do well on the high court -- and 23 percent of Democrats and 10 percent of Republicans.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton did better among both groups, as did former Vice President Al Gore. But could either of those two get a book club going inside the reclusive court? Or shower the audiences at oral arguments with new cars?

Must note, it's a Fox poll.
