She’s an academic, she doesn’t have a trail of decisions we can look at. Dealing with flesh and blood people is very different from dealing with what if questions that don’t actually impact anyone’s lives.
RE: She’s an academic, she doesn’t have a trail of decisions we can look at.
She is NOT MERELY an academic.
She practiced law at Miller, Cassidy, Larroca & Lewin in Washington, D.C
She clerked for Scalia himself.
She has been a sitting judge for a year.
And for that matter, Barrett twice received a “distinguished professor of the year” award, in 2010 and 2016 from Notre Dame for teaching constitutional law.
That’s good enough for me.
