In fact, I'm having a hard time finding objective evidence to suggest she's far-right or extremist at all. I have to assume she's been vetted at least to the extent of confirming she'd overturn Roe, and Trump's M.O. would have been to ask (tell) her directly that he expects loyalty in exchange for nominating her - so one assumes that, for those reasons, she's a dangerous person to have on the court.



But a lot of the articles I'm reading about her - including ones reviewing her judicial decisions - really fail to make a compelling case.
It's just people being manipulated into hysterics. The Democrats want people to get all spun up about it to vote. The GOP doesn't fight back TOO hard, since they want to pretend like this might be a chance to get RvW overturned and get the pro-life/evangelical vote.

Basically, the more anyone gets all passionate about this, the more they have been manipulated.
