Again, much overblown. She voted right on the vast majority of cases, and on almost ALL the big ones:
*Braun (guns)
*Dobbs (abortion)
*Affirmative action ending
*SEC
*EPA (both greatly curtailed gubment’s ability to regulate/restrain business
*Chevron defernce
*Trump on the state ballots
*Immunity
*Now the one today.
She’sprobably batting over 70%, which is far better than Souter or Kennedy and in the big cases, closer to 90%.
To some, her overall record doesn’t matter. To those people, if a judge has ever deviated from the approved conservative view of an issue, that judge is thereafter considered worthless. That judge is branded as no better than any of the liberals.
On Free Republic, the only Supreme Court justices who are liked by all are Thomas and Alito. All of the others have deviated from the strict conservative ruling at one time or another, and thus are considered worthless. By that standard, all of Trump’s nominees are considered worthless by some on this site.
Great points.
She’s probably going to end up being closer overall to Anthony Kennedy, albeit very different on social issues.
But it is case by case and not an APA violation, etc. So Squish is simply wrong here.
I like 95% myself.
It appears to me that ACB is not a fan of Trump. Which is funny because she should be thanking Trump for her job.
You're so sensible, LS; whereas others on this thread accusing her of emotionalism feel entitled to emote about it!
