Actually, after looking at the Ricci case, I have concluded that she is a lightweight compared to Scalia,Roberts, Alito and Thomas.She will get the seat and then about a week before she is sworn in, she will get ass-kicked with a
6-3
reversal in Ricci with a blistering opinion delivered by Thomas, and she will then vote like Souter voted and be about as effective as Souter. She won’t be the mental giant who can go toe to toe with Scalia or Roberts. But that’s the short term view.
