That would not be surprising to me. I’m reading todays transcript. She appears sane.
From what i have read about her - she is a prety fair judge during her appellate term, particularly on commercial matters.
Wouldnt it be funny if she turned into a conservative jurist over time? LOL = the left would melt.
One was concern that she was racist. The "wise latino" being superior to old white men comment added to this concern. As well as the ruling against the white firefighters who were denied promotions after blacks claimed the firefighting test was somehow racist because blacks didn't do as well on it. It's still hard to imagine a racist firefighting test. There was concern that she was heavily involved in "identity politics".
The second concern, apparently was that both sides felt her opinions sometimes missed the forest for the trees. Missed the constitutional issues involved and that she was an intellectual lightweight.
The second may play to conservative's favor, in that the Supreme court is a committee and she will be exposed to the legal reasoning from the others. Thus, if she's a lightweight she may be easily swayed by sound legal reasoning.
