While everyone is waiting for President Donald Trumps official announcement for Ruth Bader Ginsburgs replacement, multiple reports claim that Amy Coney Barrett is the frontrunner. One might have thought this will spark discussions about if she is the ideal replacement or about her achievements for deserving the position.

Anyone having better details on the characteristics of Aunt Lydia as Barrett's prototype from the Novel, please add it, and if needed, to correct mine.
