vetting things, any yellow flags you see? i don t see any, and i think the reality of the politics of this nomination is not going to be about their actual records, just like the wise latina kerfuffle for sonia sotomayor. all she was saying is it does matter what our experiences are that we bring to the bench, and her and president biden talk about experience today. experience also includes lived experience, how we understand the facts we are hearing, how we understand the application of the law. that s what a judge does. but that is an example of how the politics of this works. so i would expect that we re going to see republicans in particular looking for things they can make sound bites out of to be the red meat for fox news, but that has nothing to do with any actual yellow flags. kelly o donnell, the speed with which the white house made sure we knew they had, oh, we ve
