re: #800 Thanos

She stopped the baseball strike, got the Vince Foster suicide note released to WSJ, opposed group strip searches, opposed an employee firing for mailing racist emails from home, etc

From the Wiki page she seems like a moderate, but those could be just the “good cases”

I agree — she does look like a moderate from the decisions listed at Wiki. Also note that she upheld Bush’s Mexico City Policy of not funding abortions outside the US, which should please the social conservatives, except that they’re too busy being outraged at the moment.
