Yes, I saw her trying to explain her racism.

Imagine a white candidate saying, "I would hope that a white male with the richness of his experiences would more often or not reach a better conclusion than a Hispanic female who hasn't lived that life."

Overturning bad precedent may actually RESTORE faith the legal system.

Her existence on the court undermines faith in the legal system. She was nominated because of her reliably leftist views, not any actual respect for the law.
