Indeed - some of these comments are ridiculous - that we have a long history supposedly of female SCOTUS nominees who “grow” and drift to the left. We’ve had one - count them - one female GOP SCOTUS nominee. No others. In 5-4 decisions she was the deciding vote on many cases, the overwhelming majority of the time she was with the conservative bloc, though also on the other side on some rather big cases...however, her philosophy was fairly consistent over her 25 year tenure as a Justice. The comments made above by many are objectively false statements. We do, however, have a long history of GOP male SCOTUS nominees drifting to the left - sometimes dramatically to the left. Souter actually was conservative very early in his tenure, voting with Scalia a majority of the time. However, in the end, he was one of the most liberal members of the court, if not the most liberal, in competition with Stevens (also a male GOP appointee).

For me this is not a male/female issue. I was all for Barrett, but this article is troubling.

I know what I was thinking on Nov 3, 2016.
Reading her words leads me to think she voted for Egg McMuffin.

She didn’t trust Trump and said so in public days before the election. Maybe she voted for Hillary. I don’t trust her. Go to the next candidate, male or female.

The general consensus is that Souter was not precisely male, a friend of Dorothy if you will.
