I personally don't have the time to go through the opinions of each of the judges on the list to develop a ranking. What I despise is the naked politicking going on - let's see who can rack up the most endorsements from whom as if we were crowning a homecoming queen. There is plenty of objective evidence on the record on the qualifications of each of these potential nominees and that is what should be argued.
Of course that is hard work. Instead you get fraudulent misrepresentation, like Coulter's here. I would have thought that was beneath her. I was very obviously wrong.
Knowing Coulter's history, I think extreme hyperbole and bomb throwing about a candidate is just typical behavior for her, and certainly not "beneath her". She loves to say outrageous stuff to get attention. IMO, she does more damage to our side than "helps" us.
That being said, she was right to doubt John Roberts at the time, and sadly it fell on deaf ears among most conservatives (including me). Ultimately, she did accurately predict that Roberts would betray us, but she was INACCURATE in claiming he'd morph into "another Souter".
Aside from Obamacare, I don't think Roberts has turned traitor since then. I'm not one to buy the "Roberts was blackmailed" conspiracy stuff but it seems odd he'd only side with the four commies on that ONE issue. It was very out of character for him, especially since Mr. Squish Anthony Kennedy was vehemently IN FAVOR of striking down Obamacare.
Still, Roberts betrayal on Obamacare means I can never trust him 100% again. As far as I'm concerned, we only have two reliable conservatives on the court now: Alito and Thomas. Next tier down would be Roberts who seems 90% truthworthy, the next tier down that is faux "pro-life Scalia-type judge" Gorsuch who idealogically has much more in common with Sandra Day O'Connor, the next tier down from that is the center-right Anthony Kennedy, and then the bottom tier is the four socialist RAT judges.
