Maggie's Farm

Much like Sotomayor, I have little problem with her on the SC, for a variety of reasons.
First, she's hardly extremist.
Second, she has a history of reaching across the divide.
Third, a few members who disagree with my view is always a good thing - particularly if they are just replacing another one I disagreed with.

Finally, I have a personal (indirect) degree of separation: My father and stepmother have had dinner with her several times due to a mutual acquaintance. While my father says they are politically differentiated (in substantial ways), she is intelligent, well spoken, and very accepting of his views. He believed she SHOULD have been nominated last time.

I know, due to my father's inquiry on my behalf regarding a personal situation, that her views on certain workplace behaviors are VERY Libertarian in nature. Upon hearing my situation at a previous job, she was not complimentary toward certain existing rules on the books regarding sexual harassment and discrimination which are currently being misused and abused.

I hope she gets approved.

It never hurts to be a little magnanimous toward the other side from time to time. Even while they are wrong 90% of the time, it's amazing how things can change.
