Just what we want for a Supreme Court Justice who will "interpret" the Constitution for maybe the next 30 or 40 years (meaning in today's world; "rewriting" the Constitution and making law which is really Congress' role). A person who has no prior judicial experience and little in the way of writings to evaluate how she would view an issue.
So, all we can go by is that she has the trust of the most politically leftist progressive president in the history of our once great nation. That pretty much seals the deal for me on her leanings and character, but of course she will be confirmed because this same president has the majority he needs in the houses, bolstered by the rhinos to gain confirmation.
The only solace we can take from this appointment is, like Donna says, it replaces one judicial activist with probably another one; albeit one who will impact the lives of American citizens for an awful long time.
