Two... she's being shielded from Press questions and the like because of all the legal ramifications in which she could incriminate herself. So they're shielding her from a possible prison sentence.
Three...because she is "frail" she does get a degree of sympathy voters from those who follow her even if they know she's not stable enough to serve.
As for how she sees herself....she's decades long lost any ability 'to distinguish' right from wrong, good from bad, or for that matter even connecting with the reality of daily living....she's been in nothing but a bubble she's created for herself, and those who for years assisted her to do just that.
When I first began searching about her health, for a moment I was irritated they could push her so....but that lasted just seconds for she has willingly sold her soul from day one on the abortion issue itself, and carries the weight of responsibility for pushing this dastardly "murderous law" on innocent babies.... Those deaths are as much her resposiblity as the mothers and abortion butchers who took the life of these children.
I have no pity or sympathy for the woman...
She's the 1 in 25 clinical sociopath. Wehther she can distinguish "right" from "wrong" isn't the point. See sociopath.
