Listening to her hearings I view this as a strength. She's an outstanding scholar. This is constantly displayed when she has to remind the Senate on the roles of the Legislative and Judicial branches.

Finestien tried to paint her as discriminating against old folks because she agreed with a majority on a case that threw out an applicant's claims of age discrimination. She reminded Finestien that the statute covered employees, not applicants. If Congress doesn't like it perhaps they should move to amend the statute.
