i think her ruling about the firemen should be enough to show that she doesnt deserve the job.

She was following Supreme Court precedent. Bushey was the law of the land when her circuit court decided Ricci, and circuit court judges can't override that.

This. She was doing exactly what a justice should, which is to follow precedent. Exactly the sort of thing that the Conservatives (generally very supportive of such traditional judicial practices) should be praising her for, but they naturally don't mind the otherwise damnable "activist judges" so long as they're activist in their favor, and equally they condemn judicial restraint if it helps prop up something they oppose.

 

Hypocrisy is the nature of politics, after all (my disclaimer against any perceived conservative-bashing)
