Sandra is very supportive, says the family is very supportive and believe her. She has a full life and would not make this up.
Spoke of her sister in law's belief of her civic duty. She a serious person, her expertisef is statistics - is thoughtful, wants the process to be fair and see no need for a rush. They want an FBI investigation.

This is too good.

We don't have a tv on today yet. Surely this will go viral. It really makes my day.

It was her first TV interview - she emphasized her SILs training, seriousness and thoughtfulness and I was really impressed that she stressed the importance of investigating facts.

Let me put it this way - she and her in laws will fuck them up rationally and politely.

This is a life time appointment

A body of wise people should want this information

Oh My! Clear and articulate.

For a lifetime appointment, the candidate should have to get 67 yes votes to be confirmed

And sonya Sotomayor made it by 1 vote (68 votes) but repugs would have kept two from voting had this been standard. We are just mad about kavenaugh. But there will never be another vote like RBG. Never! It will be whatever number of senators in party at time. 67 votes would result in an empty Supreme Court.
