at the party and philosophy that "brung her there."

She seems honestly astonished at a lot of things--including yesterday--hearing the idiocy of her conservative male colleagues.

While I can't get past the urgent need to do something about/dilute the impacts of Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh, and Colorado's shame, Gorsuch (We are stuck with Roberts for a while), there is a minute chance that ACB MIGHT evolve even a tiny bit. (Then again my hopes are frequently dashed when I extend even a modicum of benefit-of-the-doubt toward any conservative).
