re: #88 Charles

I’m not suggesting that — I’m saying that she hasn’t taken obviously pro-abortion stances in anything I’ve been able to find. It’s not clear where she stands on abortion, but the few decisions she has made seem to indicate that she’s not a radical on the issue.

This is the truth.

Look, real liberals and prochoice people are ANGRY at her nomination BECAUSE she’s too centrist! Check the NYT or memeorandum and you’ll find a load of such articles.

me, I’m pro-choice, and I don’t like SS’s decisions. As a partisan concerned with one issue, I don’t like her,

As an American, though, it looks to me like she’s a competent jurist and eminently qualified for the court. And I abhor the idea of a political test or a litmus test for a SCOTUS justice, whether it’s by the left or the right. Even if it means bad news for one of my partisan principles. (and the pro-choice principle is damn close to non-negotiable for me)

I have faith in our system, which is why I didn’t lose my shit over Roberts or Alito either. (Bork is another story, because he was a lunatic and a theocrat).
