I find her beliefs very odd, and don't understand how she can square serving as an equal with men on the Supreme Court if she beliefs her ability to make judgements and decisions is inferior, based on her gender alone.
But she's better than what I thought we'd be getting in a nominee, as in, she's not strident and hateful and racist.
Let's stop with the stupid generalizations. I am extremely liberal, even voted for Bernie. People are not out to do this woman harm. However, I find the Democrats' whining about her appointment and how "unfair it is!" tiresome. She is an extremely accomplished judge, a wife, and a mother. She sounds like a conservative version of Michelle Obama. I'm appalled at all the mudslinging toward a brilliant lady readers know nothing about. She says she will rule based on legal precedent. We have no reason to doubt her. She's not RBG. No one will be. I won't agree with what a lot of she says. Oh well, that's life. Democrats need to grow up, accept someone else, and hope she will rule with integrity and wisdom.
Nice rational post. I assume then you do not support packing the courts. I will remind all when those such as RBG who was liberal were nominated, the GOP Senators supported the choice for the most part, recognizing it is the sitting president's right to pick, and their vote should strictly be based on the merits of the candidate's record in adjudicating, indifferent to where their pov falls on the liberal/conservative spectrum.

You're right. I don't, even though that seems to be an idea advocated by many liberals.
As a Federal Judge she already has it along with protection by the United States Marshals Service.
Marshals do not generally protect federal judges outside of the courtroom . . . and if you saw the video of the judge and her family leaving the court, there was no security present. My aunt is a federal judge in NY, appointed by Bill Clinton. Trust, she does not have armed security outside of the courtroom.
The Marshals do, however, generally provide round-the-clock protection for Supreme Court justices. Simply put, the Marshals service doesn't have enough members to provide non-courtroom security for all federal judges. It's just like how the Capitol Police provide protection for Congress generally, but only round the clock protection for members of the congressional leadership.

One has to be daft to take that statement to mean all leftists pose a threat to Judge Barrett's safety That statement stands for the proposition that any threats of violence that the judge and her family faces will likely be from leftists given the ideological opposition to her nomination.
