I feel bad for her law students. Imagine paying all that money to listen to someone with that voice who's only there because of daddy's donations.

He must have given them a sh!tpot full of money for them to allow her to finish first in her class at Notre Dame Law School in 1997.

This nominee seems to be a safe choice. What are folks worried about specifically with her?

I haven't done a deep dive into her record yet, most of that would come out during the hearings anyways. But some early thoughts after some quick reading:

As far as her resume goes, seems pretty solid to me.

I've read some short summaries of her cases: she's had some rulings that I liked concerning restoration of gun rights to non-violent felons (they were convicted of mail fraud, I believe) and other criminal justice stuff (another one involved her ruling in favor of some dudes that were the victim of a prank call to police, in which the police violated their 4th rights with illegal search and seizure). But, she's had some rulings on immigration matters that I didn't agree with.

Regarding abortion, she's said that she doesn't believe Roe will ever be overturned due to 40 some odd years of precedent. She did say changes to the law would involve late term procedures and allowing states to expand some restrictions. For a conservative justice, that is probably about as good as it will get.

Not really much out there on her, honestly. I know her confirmation a few years ago was pretty contentious, so I imagine round 2 will be even more so. I'll withhold judgement until I hear more from her and do some more reading

The two things I've seen are that she'll be the deciding vote to repeal the ACA and that if confirmed before the election is over she (along with Trump's beer drinking lap dog Brett) will act as a mindless rubber stamp for Trump if the election is decided in the SCOTUS.

It would have been nice for a Democrat to have named a truly impartial Justice, like Kagan, Sotomayor, and Breyer.

I suspect the ACA is not getting repealed, regardless.

So, in other words, false shat.

Her job is rule on the law as she interprets it. Being fair has nothing to do with it.

I think it does. Her ruling on her interpretations would be fair. Instead of what has been suggested with Robert's where he was lately voting differently to maintain balance.

And fair or any interuptation precludes any sort of bias or favoritism to any one side.

I don't think he did a deep dive on her rulings from the bench.
He read it on line somewhere.

Kavanaugh has voted against trump/Rs more than for them.

Keep making stuff up.

Garland was pretty moderate and the right threw away their dignity over him.

The hysteria is caused by the shift in the court’s dynamic. Scalia->Moderate is a shift. Ginsburg -> Conservative is a shift. The amendment process is overly difficult so the only way to amend the constitution is to get the court to rule on something. It has created a system in which there is too much at stake for these confirmations.

What’s fair to one person may not be fair to another. The justice interprets the law
