A lot of people (particularly single-issue voters) assumed that because Barrett was anti-abortion that she would be an across the board conservative. That wasn't how it worked out.
I don't understand why sitting Presidents, even Republican ones, feel the need to replace females SCOTUS justices with another woman, or a black justice with another black judge rather than just looking for the best candidate. When GHW Bush chose Clarence Thomas for Thurgood Marshall's seat on the bench, it happened to turn out well for us. Trump's pick of Amy Barrett to fill Ruth Ginsberg's seat didn't turn out so well - we wound up with someone who's barely to the right of Ginsberg a great deal of the time.
