I think she'll be fine.

The problem I have is that something as pivotal to the future of this country as the composition of Supreme Court shouldn't be left to blind faith.

This is an issue that requires-in the words of John McLaughlin-"metaphysical certitude."

Perhaps she'll turn out to be a stellar associate justice-presuming, of course, that she's ultimately confirmed-but I'd rather not leave it up to chance, especially when there were so many other possible choices who had already established firm, unwavering judicial philosophies, and who would have been absolutely certain to stand with us.
