    I don't believe that is a correct way to look at things. There are things I used to believe, and feel strongly about that would be considered liberal... As I grew older, I realized that a lot of those things were based on total bullsh*t, and that I was immature and naïve. What she is doing is being duplicitous and holding a double standard that she has applied and will apply in any situation and every situation her life and career places her in. She is inherently dishonest and will be always. In my opinion.

    It is not enough to acknowledge the principles of our democracy and law when seeking a position in which trust must me absolute, free of qualifications and without provision. To say, for instance, Yes, I believe that if you are not caught you may commit a crime without consequences but as a judge I will give equal consideration to the prosecution and the defense in cases before me. But that is what I hear from this nominee for the bench. What I as an American must hear from a candidate from an office which has such profound impact on the Lives, Rights and Freedoms of ALL Americans is a determined dedication to impartiality, withholding no effort in practicing the fullest devotion to ensuring the defendant and prosecution, plaintiff and defendant are afforded every consideration independent of any sentiments, beliefs or opinions I may hold. Otherwise, they can tell their stories walking ... west until their hat floats.

Another left wing activist, who makes a series of historical allegations, but when challenged, she dodges the fact she made these allegations. The reason why she’s being so evasive is because she wants her judicial nomination to be confirmed. I wouldn’t let her anywhere near a role in the federal judiciary.
