>>She has said that in some cases it might be correct for Catholic judges to recuse themselves from death penalty decisions.<<
If this is true, it is a perfect example of why I am adamantly opposed to her being selected. She purports to be a fervent Catholic. Well, the Catholic Church is opposed to the death penalty and, since the Second Vatican Council, it has become a very liberal religious denomination. That is why I’m convinced that she is the Judiciary’s equivalent of a Congressional RINO. Moreover her adoption of two Haitian children when there are thousands of orphans right here in America in need of parents strikes me as an egregious example of virtue signaling.
She has hardly any bench experience at all and we have nothing to go on. Plus academia, even Notre Dame, is a screamingly liberal environment.
I am 100% with you—she would in my estimation be Sandra Day O’Connor at best. Ivanka may know this and be pushing her furiously. But we are not the party of affirmative action, to start with, and it is total self-sabotage to appoint anyone without a record to this position. Of course, that is what most of the GOP wants. We can just pray that Trump isn’t too influenced by his crazy-liberal daughter on this one.
