Simple question. What's your assessment of her as a Supreme Court Justice?

But good luck getting an "honest" opinion from some of these clown divorce and living will lawyers on here

She reminds me of the AA in my law school class.


They just don’t get it.

She tries too hard and ends up being clever, as a result.

Some of that has been overblown by people who weren't smart enough to get it (the "not a biologist" comment during her confirmation), but her legal scholarship took it to a much lower level. She's basically dug herself in, at this point, and that's not particularly good for rationality.

*ETA for smooth brains: "Clever" is not a compliment.

You don't need a legal professional to answer this.

She's not qualified.
Sotomayor is also not qualified.

And just so you know it's not political. I would have big disagreements with Kagan or someone like Ginsberg in the past but no one with a brain would argue that both weren't qualified.

So, she isn't stupid. It's people like me that can't figure out how "clever" she is?

What exactly is she trying to be clever about?

Whenever I see the argument only attorneys should be qualified to be on the Supreme Court, she is my proof that being an attorney does not magically guarantee wisdom.

I don't know if she's stupid or not. She very well could be. That's not a demarcation low enough to describe plenty of posters on here who still aren't smart enough to get it.

She is either:

So stupid that she cannot understand constitutional principles

or

Understands them perfectly well, hates them, and is seeking to destroy them

Gotta take up for SFP here - I think he nailed it

Her only asset seems to be in trying to be stupid - she succeeds more often than not

I specifically asked for "legal eagles" to answer this because I've noticed that 2-3 here have seemingly NEVER criticized her a single time.

Heck, even her "peers" on the Supreme Court have indicated that she is an embarrassment to them.

I think it’s the latter because her rulings are all about how she FEELS about the law, how she FEELS about the case, not what the law states or how it’s applied to the case.

Stupid implies she's unintelligent. That, I don't buy. She's lacks wisdom and she is inclined to force-fit her legal interpretations into a specific ideological framework more so than the other justices. She's likely a qualified judge in most venues, but not to the standards of the SCOTUS. But that tends to happen when you put demographics before merit.

But you just said that she was being clever. Those comments are obviously contradictory.

You know, for a self-professed conservative you seemingly struggle with wanting to call out the obvious about her. Instead, you take the "4cubbie route" and deflect to your declaration about posters here.

Very strange, indeed.
