re: #661 lawhawk

She ruled against a high school student’s right to free speech based on statements made off school grounds - claiming that it was acceptable for the school to limit speech based on proper respect for authority. That’s a bad decision, and undermines the right to free speech.

Other decisions of interest include upholding warrantless searches for ferry users to thwart terrorism.

She has spoken often of how her early poverty and Hispanic heritage have shaped her views.

The Constitution? The Rule of Law?

Those have in part of shaping her views?
