After all, she would not have her position at all if Trump had not chosen her after the last election had been decided. He needed his own Judge, close to home, that would help him get out of legal jams and was more than willing to help him. She is a loyal person and is very grateful for what Trump did for her. A lifetime appointment with great pay - what more could a person ask for?
She has very little experience and is more than willing to take advice from anyone that might need her help, especially the legal team of Donald J Trump.
She is in a category similar to SC Justice Clarence Thomas. Both are useless to the legal profession but they serve a purpose for their masters.
