I haven't looked too much into her qualifications because the fish are in and I'd rather be out on and in the water chasing them than reading about her. I'm sure she is very intelligent. Even affirmative action couldn't have gotten her to where she is today if she wasn't very bright.

But, keep in mind that intelligence doesn't always translate into making prudent decisions. Just because someone is smart, doesn't make them the right person to be hearing and deciding Supreme Court cases.

By the way, Richard Nixon graduated from Duke University Law School with honors.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
