She's great.
One glaring difference between 1991 and now is that the Democratic makeup on the Judiciary Committee is very diverse. Can't say that for the Republican side, of course.

Once you name them - especially if they are well known for whatever reasons - you open yourself up to all the vicious attacks the hate-filled can think up.
Even in my limited naming, I have suffered years of attacks, looks, and judgment.
