yep, sure sounds dangerous to me, at least to anybody who is threatened by thoughtfulness, especially when it opposes one's political perspective.

I have some more rope here if you need it, but it looks to me like you've got more than enough already.

Wow X, you truly have a dizzying intellect. Bald quotations, without any substance supporting them, and then a snide remark.

"firmly believe in the rule of law" What else is she going to say? She's a judge. however, stating that policy is made at the appellate level flies in the face of this statement, and shows she doesn't believe it.

"inspired by the achievements of our founding fathers" What does this have to do with her judicial abilities? (other than she feels that White men cannot make as good of a decision as minority women, so she must hold the achievements of our founding fathers in disdain)

"appreciate the variety of perspectives that present themselves in every case that I hear. ... understand respect and respond to the concerns and arguments of all litigants who appear before me". Alright, that's for a trial level judge, not an appellate judge, let alone a supreme court justice, and in her quest for setting policy, she will disregard the proper determination of the present case, to promote her "policy."

Also, I'm a Republican, so I'm already hung, LIKE A HORSE!!
