I keep seeing this argument and don’t really understand it. Sandra Day O’Connor wasn’t really a conservative to begin with, and the other three women justices have held rock solid in their views. Since the conservative men we’ve seen over the past forty or so years have mostly all drifted left, maybe it’s time for a conservative woman. And this inquisition over her faith has got to be reinforcing Coney Barrett’s awareness of the stakes facing this country if we falter.
Pretty good points. I guess you could say the supposed conservative woman was the problem and the other women performed liberally as advertised, though. Like maybe it only goes one way with women. The sample size is pretty small, but women do vote more liberally than men. But it is also true that no actual vehement known conservative woman has served.
The sample size of the SC is kind of limiting also when you think about it as far as trends. I wish Trump would blow everything up and appoint a non-lawyer regular person, non-elite type. Joe the plumber or something. My God, a non-lawyer on SC—all the scum clutches their pearls.
