          Last night I watched an interview with her. It was OK, she seemed like a smart enough person. But, and just my opinion of course, she didn't seem to have the gravitas of someone being considered. Maybe it was her young sounding voice, or "average" vocabulary.
          If I were on a committee, after listening to her field questions, I think I would have asked for more candidates for consideration.

                She's very young. In her 40's, IIRC.

                          "In January 2018, I tweeted the cover story of the National Law Journal. It was titled The Great Reshaping: How the Trump Administration is Changing the Game on Judicial Nominations. And it depicted portraits of then-Justice Gorsuch, and Judges Kavanaugh, Barrett, and Willett. So far, these predictions are looking good. I'm still holding out for Justice Willett."

                                Exactly. I would be more upset about what happened in 2016 than now.

                                Seems like the are following the rules in this case, maybe not so much in 2016. Doesn't matter , however, that is over and done in the past.
