I appreciate that Amy Coney Barrett is having a "moment" right now. Since conservatives are pissed at her, it's making liberals think she is more reasonable.
SHE'S NOT. She is, unlike Alito, rigorous.
Matt Ford explains it really well in this piece

I'd argue her view of her role as a Justice is much more like what the pre-2020s SC was, not the hacky, results oriented Alito approach.
she's not liberal by any sense- but has yet to reach the level of batshagingly nut that Alito has, but the day is young.
He just wants to impose his fever dreams on everyone else by fiat.
Sorry. Im sorry. Im trying to remove it.
Person: She's going to do 100 horrible things!
ACB: Only 99, actually.
Person: She's on our side now!

Funny how the lesser of two evils eventually gets you just evil.
Probably more important to vote Blue no matter who.
Who knew that you could get all of this for the low, low price of Alito, Kennedy and Thomas' vacations?
It might help now but scares the fuck out of me because when she gets a psycho theory she can get behind, she gonna work it
And now she’s simply a shitty conservative who is also rigorous, academic and smart, and will sometimes get it right (but mostly not).
I think she’s a Federalist, but not a paid and owned subsidiary like some of the others. But who knows?
So she’s got multiple vectors to “suddenly this thing I’ve always been against can impact me personally and hence my attitude has changed” that conservatives experience fairly commonly.
