The continuing failure of this nominee's supporters to directly answer any substantive question (such as those I outlined above) does not speak well for the quality of the nomination.

Well you're the thoughtomator man, you can't expect us mortals to play in your league.

That's one issue, but the bigger issues are the obvious conflict of interest, the unanswered question of why so many better-qualified candidates were passed over, and all the unresolved question marks about who she really is and what she believes.
She appears to be the personal agent of the President. And that's not the role of a Supreme Court Justice.

I've answered these questions many times I'm quite sick of doing it. The nominee's detractors can't pay attention to anything but their own obstreperousness what can possibly be done to help them?

ONE LAST TIME:
After looking at all the candidates the you, I, and whoever liked, the President clearly wasn't happy. This is the same President who faultlessly nominated candidates you like over the last 5 years. But he didn't have a good feeling about any of them. He had all their background information (which you and I don't have) and he wasn't happy. But he did know a hard working qualified attorney that had helped him pick all his nominations over the past five years (the ones you and I liked). He DID have a good feeling about her. He KNEW she wouldn't surprise him later because he had known her for almost 20 years.

So he picked her. No, he wouldn't have done it if he had not known her so well. Knowing her so well was what made him know she was a good pick.
