Hey, I would have voted against her, but at least it would have been for something other than making life hard for the President.
I would have voted against her for her (horrible) record on civil liberties — she’s already well on her way to being the most authoritarian Justice on the Court, which given recent appointments is going to be a hard-fought race.
