And her replacement of RBG fills me with dread. But saying she's not qualified or doesn't have the experience required to be there isn't even remotely believable.

The ABA gave her a "well-qualified" rating, the highest rating possible. Their press release called her an "intellectual giant" with a "staggering academic mind", with a "stellar judicial temperament." That kind of praise i would expect from Republican jack-offs, but for the ABA to actually say it, means they really mean it.
