That means nothing as, her position as an appeals court judge requires her to rule IAW established supreme court precident, even when such rulings are crap. AS a robed master, she can rule based on the Constitution if she desires.

More important would be her view on Stare Decisis. Does she view bad precident as outranking clear intent?

Fine statement of the issue. To which I would add this question ...

Does she view Roe as bad precedent?

I agree. How can someone be a "strict constructionist" and believe in stare decis?
