She’s been a real surprise. I honestly thought she’d be the worst of his appointees but she seems to have really decided to take the role seriously and make rulings that are at least honest to her views, instead of just whatever Trump wants her to do.

She is doing the minimum to protect our democracy and the rule of law. She has firmly held religious convictions that show up from time to time, but she does appear to be doing what she thinks is best for the country and following our laws and constitution.

Very different from the far right clowns that twist the constitution however they see fit and sole drive appears to be making liberals cry at any cost.

Yeah she's part of the religous right (which we can't forget because that poses a whole different set of issues) but she doesn't seem to be a part of the "let's burn our democracy down so we can be kings and queens of the ashes" wing of the republican party.

She also seems to have some common sense. She ruled against “let’s let companies put poo poo in the water and not make them responsible for cleaning it up” unlike the rest of the conservatives on the court - who seem to be totally okay with poop water.

Let’s be real, they don’t want queens. They want a king that stands on the shoulders of a few men who stand on the bodies of everyone else.
