supreme court nominations are fund raising opportunities for advocacy groups of all ideological stripes. the nominee doesn't matter in terms of whether there's going to be some "controversy" manufactured.

looking at a judicial record that shows no evidence of bias in favor of minorities and generally narrow rulings that apply only to a specific case, only the seriously uninformed could think this is a troubled nomination.

I would agree with you that she is a very heavy favorite to be confirmed.
