I don’t get this complaining about her statement that the court of appeal is where “policy is made.” First of all, she qualified that and said “we don’t make law.” Second, she’s right in the broader sense — the opinions rendered by the court of appeals do affect policy. This is being taken out of context to imply that she believes she has the power to make laws — and that’s not what she said.
