"I just don't know what the quality of her writing ability means in the big picture."
It means she could never write the lead opinion without being laughed at. The articles reflect the bright meanderings of a college freshman, not the deliberations of a top notch jurist. Neither article ever really comes to a point, they are both filled with self defeating references ("misguided and erroneous", why not one or the other?). I could write better as a freshman, maybe I should be supreme court justice.
You mean like Dr. (?) Joycelyn Elders and her " We need safer guns and safer bullets" and her mandatory masturbation training?
