She is following in barry 0's footsteps with no record and few published opinions we can judge. She should fit right in being gay and all.

William Rehnquist...  the former Chief Justice....  had no prior experience as a judge before he was appointed to the Supreme Court.

It's not like this is out of line with established precedents.

Look at her work at Harvard and her responses during the confirmation hearings for Solicitor General.

While solidly liberal (in the US political sense), she seems at least somewhat moderate on certain topics.
I particularly liked this bit:
This
determination comported with this nation’s traditional understanding that the Constitution
generally imposes limitations on government rather than establishes affirmative rights
and thus has what might be thought of as a libertarian slant. I fully accept this traditional
understanding, and if I am confirmed as Solicitor General, I would expect to make
arguments consistent with it.
I hope she sticks to that principle.

When did serving as Solicitor General become inconsequential?

Probably not...  unless the Democrats decide she isn't liberal enough.

Those posts do not concern me. Anymore than mine concern everybody else.  In fact, I only come here out of habit.

ATG, please, use some sense.

She has published opinions.  They are not as numerous as some judges, but they are out there.
Yes, Solicitor General is different from sitting on the bench, but between that, clerk experience, and law school experience, her resume is well-qualified enough for the job.
Whether she would be a good fit, is a matter of varying opinion.

Even though Ford never actually accepted bailout money.

But unless this is about quality of their products then yeah you could do better than a Ford.

Ford has come a long way in the last few years.  They may not have the best quality in the market, but they do provide the best quality for the money....  well, other than Mazda -- which is owned by Ford.
