She is against overturning roe she clearly states she is for right of privacy which she said includes roe and the key words she used were settled and reaffirmed.

I know as a circuit court judge she has to follow supreme court precedent but she will clearly on the supreme court vote with the liberal bloc on roe related cases. Scalia, renquist and thomas will still be marginalized with her on the court.

She won't be as bad as Souter might even be slightly better than O'Connor but she is no great conservative in the Scalia mold.

Well, the "search and seizure" clause of the Constitution is in a sense a right to privacy, so her finding a right to privacy does not bother me too much.

The remarks about the right to abortion being settled law do not by any means give me the warm and fuzzies.

However, being the eternal optimist, I think I sense in her tone and wording a hint that she does not agree with the Supreme Court on this.

You must examine the "penumbra" of her statement. :-)
