[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]she is either incredibly naive or a liar, not brave[/quote]

She thought it was a brave thing, to stand as a woman, in defense of BK.

I think she made a grave error because the man she sincerely thought was all right, was not all right.

I don't think she thought it was brave. I think she thought it was politically expedient.

She is not a stupid person, and she cannot have believed that voting yes on BK was fulfilling her promise to Maine citizens that she wouldn't confirm a justice who wants to trash Roe. That's even leaving aside the rest of it. She must just have believed she was powerful enough to withstand blowback, and that the trouble of not voting for him would be worse for her.[/quote]

We'll just have to agree to disagree. I really thought she was sincere. And, there have been a few votes on the SC where BK bucked the conservative trend, unlike Gorsuch. However, ultimately, given that I perceive BK to be an opportunistic and morally flexible chameleon, I think she was bamboozled and took an extraordinary risk. I won't miss her.
