1. I told my bro it was going to be her, so I'm glad to see this. Best to her in following that rule!
Rights for all.

2. seems genuinely thrilled and appreciative - what a nice introduction in her words/appearance

very very unexpected given what we all likely sense as what a 'judge' is... very very appreciative person

3. She looks humble. Certainly compared to the three douches, Scalito and Thomas. nt

9. She combines love of justice with personal humility. She's a winner.
I have the impression that she is even tempered, intelligent and conscientious in addition to being brilliant.

She does not appear to have sold herself to anyone.

What a great pick.

Well-played Mr. President, well-played. :thumbsup: (with tears in my eyes)
