Again, I don't think balance should ever be a consideration. Ginsberg and Breyer replaced much more conservative Blackmun and White (who was really more libertarian than conservative), and balance was never a concern during their nominations. If I were in a feistier mood right now, I would suggest that is because balance is not a ocnern when moving toward the left - only if there is a possible move to the right.

The issue, as always, is if she has the background and is qualified to make rulings on the Constitution. Before anyone asks me, I really don't know how to make that determination with her, being that she has no record and all her current work may be priviledged.
