    Are really that naive or are you just a shill? President Obama is the most overtly Progressive (read Social Democratic for you Euro readers out there) politician to make POTUS since Wilson and FDR. If he nominated her she is known to be Party Regular. And he does personally know the lady. That means forget anything she has said publicly while serving in lower positions and/or trying to get nominated to positions of authority. It would be safe to bet the rent money that within a year of getting appointed to the SCOTUS none will doubt she holds the following views.

    The Constitution is a 'living' document that means whatever the Party needs it to mean today.

    The 1st Amendment says Porn is protected speech but political ads aren't. Religious speech can and must be suppressed wherever and whenever it occurs outside an officially designated church.

    The 2nd Amendment protects the government's Right to possess weapons but says nothing about thee or me.

    The 4th Amendment doesn't apply when a Party member occupies the White House.

    The 9th and 10th Amendments are a historical curiosity that say zero about the modern government's power to do whatever the Hell the Party wants.

    Roe v Wade is Holy Writ. Even as most scholars now admit it was a terrible ruling and the poster child for legislating from the bench.

    Enforcing our immigration laws is racist. I.e. Arizona is a bunch of racists who will need to be punished for copy/pasting Federal immigration laws (which aren't actually enforced) into State law. The idea being it is OK to have immigration laws on the books, but to actually enforce one is bad.
