At worst, she's another Stevens or even to his left. At best, she becomes for Obama what Stevens was to Ford - not what he thinks he's getting - a justice who's more conservative than Liberal.
Perhaps the middle ground is best, we have someone of Kennedy's demeanor, perhaps just to his Left, who needs to be led. She could be the deciding vote in several cases.
On the surface, I don't like the pick, I'd have preferred someone not from the Ivy League, but I guess it's hard for the Chosen one to see beyond those gilded halls. Given his background, I'd have a hard time opposing this nomination if I were a sitting senator.
