She's a harpy for the ACLU - a communist front if there ever was one. That is the entire point - her destructive effect on ALL of us.
Her friendship with Scalia is in no way redeeming. I have an avowed Marxist in my family and he alright if he's not harping on about class, etc. I also have a socialist peace monkey brother in law that is otherwise a fine human being. The fact that I can enjoy their company in no way diminishes what they are and what the consequences of their beliefs - should they triumph - will be for America.
I have often thought of what the outcome would be if revolution forced us to take harder sides. Despite my familial ties, I would do whatever my duty led me to do.
There is noi such thing as communism. Worry about socialism in the broader sense, the destructiveness of the social democracy of a Kennedy. Worry about "moderate" republicans such as Blackmun and Berger,the Minnesota Twins who did more to undermine the Constitution than she has. At least she is out front and not a stealth liberal like Souter. who dissembled his way onto the Court.
