When the President said he chose her because she's a great consensus builder, I had to make sure my ears were clean. I couldn't believe what I'd just heard. She's a shitty consensus builder! She's the one who argued the government's case against Citizens United, as Solicitor General. And she LOST. Some consensus she built there, 'eh?

I CANNOT believe that the three women on the high court went this way. I cannot believe it. That they'd find it okay to leave women coming to a family planning or women's health clinic wide open and unprotected like this. I am just stunned. Not ONE vote from any of the three of them? Madame Associate Justice Ginsburg? YOU TOO?????

Sheesh... I think the Hobby Lobby case is lost. We have NO ONE on the court taking our side.
