So you are ignoring the most important evidence.
I'm not an expert on her opinions, but from what I've seen of them they aren't "the most important evidence" because they aren't strong evidence in either direction. To be important evidence they first have to be evidence of something.
I admit there may be evidence there one way or another that I've missed, but that isn't the same as ignoring the most important evidence.
Did you object to Alito on the basis of this statement ?
"When I get a case about discrimination, I have to think about people in my own family who suffered discrimination because of their ethnic background or because of religion or because of gender. And I do take that into account. .."
I've seen that quote before, and I do count it against him, but absent its full context, other statements along the same lines, or any evidence from his divisions (and I pay a lot more attention to supreme court decisions than lower court decisions, so I'd be more aware of his record, at least his relatively recent record) I give him some benefit of the doubt.
If he had gone beyond "I do take that into account", and said rather that it drives his decision making process, then yes I would object to him, and I would absent a statement quite that strong if there was enough other evidence to lead me to a conclusion that he does. |
