IB explains, saving you the trouble of listening to them throughout the process:

  • Extremism
  • Activism
  • Results-orientism
  • Lack of Merit (due to being Hispanic a woman an “affirmative action hire”)
  • Non-Judicial in Temperament
  • Heck, Even the Liberal New Republic® etc. etc.

In addition, the primary source of evidence adduced for her “activism” is the potential that she will defer to the integration programs of electorally responsible officials. although these programs are not explicitly inconsistent with the text of the Constitution and are also consistent with precedent and (to the extent it’s meaningful) the original understanding of the constitutional text. (Bonus points if claims about “activism” are made by admirers or former employees of Clarence “Let’s Burn Down the New Deal” Thomas.)

And, of course, I hope you will also note that such accomplishments as Ivy League degrees and distinguished appellate court service are about to become much less important as standards of “merit” than they were for reactionary white guys appointed by George W. Bush…
