I think theres more of a chance that she won't seem qualified enough and that could doom her nomination. But she'll likely answer in a similar way that Roberts did and that should be good enough for a majority of senators. I really don't see a filibuster at this point. For what, because she's a christian who's personally anti-abortion? I don't think thats enough.

As for her real judicial philosophy, I think an AP headline may have had it about right: "An anti-abortion moderate". I think she will likely satisfy christian conservatives on moral issues, even though I'm not convinced that she'd vote to completely overturn Roe V Wade, I'm pretty positive she'll vote to narrow that right and be conservative on other hot button issues. But on others that Cons care about like affirmative action, laws re discrimination, etc.... she may be more moderate.

I think the people that are most likely to be disappointed by her could be libertarians. Thats just a guess though, it'll take a couple years to know for sure.
