I'm not saying she's not a nice lady, a stalwart Christian and a good lawyer, I'm saying that with the upcoming controversies on free speech, FEC control of political sites like Freep, attempts to outlaw guns, and homosexual "rights," we needed a Constitutionally brilliant legal scholar, which she is not.
It's like being a NASCAR racer, and you're about to run the biggest race of your life, and instead of the best F1 mechanic walking up to tune up your car, the owner brings out Gomer Pyle...a sweet, kindly-natured good guy, but not really a mechanic.
You'd like to sit and share a pack of peanuts with Gomer, but as far as making your car the best it can be...it ain't a'gonna' happen.
I shudder to think of what the hearings will be like when she's asked deep, probing questions about matters arcane and convoluted. I guarantee you we won't be that impressed. She's simply NOT a deeply knowledgeable Constitutional scholar like Scalito, Luttig, McConnell and others
She's a nice lady, I'm sure, and it'd be fun to sit and chat with her, but I don't want to see her trying to come up with legal arguments to undermine Roe V. Wade or Miller, or refute Gonzalez's or Hilliary's attempts to restrict gun ownership further...
