To me, she comes off as the most impressive justice on the court. Her opinions so far have been informed by rigorous and accurate history, and convey a sharpness and clarity of purpose that cuts through so much bullshit. She absolutely wrecks the arguments of her morally bankrupt counterparts on the court.
Her questions at oral argument are incisive and expose dishonest crap that claimants try to pull. And she manages to do all of it with a beautiful command of language and rhetoric. I’m cynical and generally untrustworthy of most folks in positions like hers, but damn if she isn’t inspiring and incredibly good at her job. I only wish she wasn’t going to be stuck in the minority and at the whims of some genuinely awful people, for the foreseeable future.
