I don't expect to agree 100% with ANY of the people I consider Highly qualified for a given job in our government; that's utter non-sense. On the whole, I think she's a good pick.Yes, extremists on both sides are unhappy with the choice, to say the least.

Moreover, the person should demonstrate that He/She has the highest standards of integrity, is intelligent, articulate, SANE and NOT given over to ideological extremisms; is knowledgeable about the law, willing to do in-depth research, able to write decisions that are clear and cogent; is an active listener but also able and willing ask probing questions to get at the heart of the matter being presented before the Court; and able to make informed decisions that will stand up to close scrutiny and the “test of time.” Palin: "Go back to what our founders and our founding documents meant — they're quite clear — that we would create law based on the God of the bible and the Ten Commandments. “Yep. That’s EXACTLY what we need_smh (sigh!
