Prestigious federal appellate court for the d.c. circuit, i think we saw a lot of what she has on display during those sn senate confirmation hearings. first of all, she s obviously incredibly smart and competent, but she s got a real sense of herself that she could hold it together during a series of offensive questions and tough questions about her record and never lost it, always was able to, frankly, be a very good advocate for herself, and with her credentials and her experience as a trial judge which is relatively rare on the supreme court and her experience as a federal public defender, which is definitely distinct for this generation. we have to go all the way back to thurgood marshall, who was appointed in 1967, to have someone with significant criminal justice experience on the court, defending defendants. so, she has a real range. as you know, alisyn, she was ....
