That’s what the Washington Post’s Ruth Marcus called her, a little weirdly (So what’s that make Obama … JFK with rhythm?). But I’ve been thinking.

But when she has written opinions that touched tangentially on abortion disputes, she has reached outcomes in some cases that were favorable to abortion opponents.
