Today's ruling kind of supports that notion.
I don't know about that. If it was unanimous, it might be an issue, but the result was 5-4. The guy she is replacing was on her side on the issue as well. If the pundits believe she is a racist, they would have to say the same about the 4 dissenters on the Supreme Court. I think the "reverse racism" talking points they are laying out are just to strum up the base that doesn't view minorities favorably.

In any event, being in this industry where free speech is an important industry, I'm more worried about her stance on obscenity than I am about issues like this. Does anyone know if she has a stance on it? Assuming the Republicans are against her, I'd imagine she would be more favorable to our industry.
