OK, I'm glad you admit that you are working with the same information as us mere mortals.

Given that, I see two left-wing organizations on her resume, that she's been a trial lawyer, and has run a lottery. What about these few pieces of information available give you any reason to hope that she will be different from O'Connor or Souter?

Yes, I admitted that; but I also pointed out I'm not jumping to conclusions and spreading falsehoods based on my interpretations of readings of pseudo-facts on this thread.

A claim you cannot make.

Because George W. Bush has known her for almost 20 years and he NOMINATED her. DUH.

One other thing. She has managed a very large and obviously therefore a very ideologically diverse law firm.

This is impressive as a professional credential.

But you don't get positions like that by being a committed conservative or, for that matter, a flaming liberal. That just makes too many people mad.

You succeed in those types of environments by being a pragmatist, a compromiser, a go along to get along.

Again, while that is an impressive professional achievement, it is not exactly what those of us who held out for a Scalia/Thomas wanted.
