She is only 48, and has only been a Judge for three years. She is an Originalist - ie. all statements in the constitution must be interpreted based on the original understanding of the authors or the people at the time it was ratified. She belongs to People of Praise:

It's clear that she is intended to assuage the anger of the evangelicals, who didn't quite get what they paid for with Gorsuch and Kavanaugh.

Then again, all bets are off when the head of the National Institutes of Health is Francis Collins, a guy who became a devout christian after god came to him under a frozen waterfall.
