There will be more…
But right now ?
She wouldn’t win anything except a Republican US Senate majority….
And that IS the only thing that counts…
There is a consensus even among some of Barrett’s critics that she is very smart, and her family — she would be the first Supreme Court justice who is the mother of school-age children, and two of her children were adopted from Haiti — was featured prominently when Trump nominated her Saturday. Barrett in her remarks also took care to pay tribute to the liberal justice she would replace, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, saying she would be “mindful of who came before me.” All of it seemed clearly geared toward undercutting the Democratic argument that she’s some kind of dangerous ideologue.
The earliest polling we have on Barrett comes via a snap poll from YouGov that was conducted after her nomination was announced. It shows that 38 percent have a positive view of her, while 33 percent have a negative view. But registered voters also said they opposed her confirmation by a 49-to-44 margin. And this is merely the beginning of the process, in which the vast majority of people won’t have any real familiarity with who she is or what she has done and said.
Thus begins that debate. The ramifications for both the future of the Supreme Court and the 2020 election are massive…

She is quite obviously “qualified .”
It’s the circumstances of her appointment that are the question for me at least.
The question is her politics, law and religion vs law….
My position on Supreme Court justices is well known.
In my view, if the nominee is “qualified” they should be confirmed.
However, in this case, the circumstances of this nomination is determinative.
She’s obviously a conservative.
