I have no problems with her, Boxer, or Dean (esp. Dean) - then again, I am far more of a moderate than most around here in that I think it is okay to:
1. limit abortions with things like parental notification with an escape clause for abused minors
2. own a gun as long as that ownership is heavily regulated
3. go ahead and get it over with and drill in Alaska because we will never move off of fossil fuel until the last drop of oil is taken from the Earth
I also think Roe and its progeny are legally incorrect as the US Const. really does not specifically give The Court the authority to create rights - having said that, I am not complaining too loudly about them mostly illegal or at least unsubstantiated new rights
Oh Well, the confirmation ought to be interesting
