Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said the panel would be “fully prepared” to vet a Supreme Court nominee should there be a retirement at the end of the term, and would recommend that either Ted Cruz (R-Texas) or Mike Lee (R-Utah) get the nomination.

So she was elevated directly to a Court of Appeals and fast-tracked to the Supreme Court not 3 years later to rule on an abortion case-something made clear at both hearings. But that’s politics. She’s unqualified because her time practicing law wouldn’t even qualify her for a judgeship in my city.

But honestly? I don’t hate her. After doing literally the one and only thing she was put there to do, she’s become a wildcard on most other issues, and it drives FedSoc kooks crazy.

It does professionally offend me that we’ve made an elected priesthood out of this. If someone started as a mid-level manager at a national conglomerate, was made CFO a few years later, and a member of the board right after that, we would rightly ask if they were a wunderkind or the owner’s kid.

While I definitely don’t agree with many of the positions she takes, my understanding is that she is a qualified justice. She received a “well-qualified” rating from the ABA after her nomination.
