Re: SCOTUS Nomination

According to CNN, the following are cases she ruled on as a judge that made it to the Supreme Court. Note SCOTUS reversed 6 out of 7 of these cases, and in the one they upheld they said - unanimously - her reasoning in the decision was faulty. This is a woman we want on the Supreme Court?
