I argued with one last night with a fake link to show Kavanaugh's mom had also been a judge that had sat over her parents foreclosure. I doubt there even was one but we need more info out there like this.
It might be helpful if the next author ignores her labels, her electric car and organic gardening though. That made me feel like they were painting her as an ultra left wing nut.

They would accuse her of that anyway though I guess.
