Certainly not a Democrat, not even a conservative Democrat, if there’s such a thing. 🤔 Hopefully she's got enough intellect and ethics to know that her own views should not factor into a court judgement.

Romney backs vote on Supreme Court nominee, clearing way for TrumpSen. Mitt Romney said Tuesday he would support a floor vote to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, essentially clinching consideration of President Trump’s nominee this year despite the impending election Is it right for a man to vote to remove a lying, depraved President in one moment and then give that same tawdry President the opportunity to change the legal landscape of the country for generations to come?

In Ginsburg and Romney, major America policies hinged on the longevity of an 87 year-old with five separate cancer diagnoses and a man who dug up his father-in-law to baptize the deceased into a religion based on the private visions of a for-profit treasure seeker. Why is this news? Oh... liberals can usually count on Mitt to be spineless
