Initially I wanted to say "I've been critical of her from the start, my history is on this site, but she's still better than RBG."

I wrote that out and looked at it. I'm not sure she is better than RBG.

Everyone knew RBG was left, far left. ACB has been branded as right, far right even. So, if she is far right, that means the middle must be far to her left... and there is the problem. We keep having moderates (like Trump and ACB) labeled as far right, moving the political window further left. It's even worse when these "far right" individuals aren't even moderates, but lean left as ACB does.

I think the mythical nature of ACB's conservatism is actually more damaging than RBG's open leftism. She might be the most damaging action against conservatives for a generation.
