Maybe I'll get cancelled for saying this, but Amy Barrett seems like a competent and capable jurist who is just ideologically in the other camp.

Considering "the other camp" would force people like me into conversion therapy, if they thought they could get away with it? Still kinda angry about this. I don't know how her *not* being a corrupt rapist meaningfully affects that.

Reflecting on this, I think competence and integrity matter, and having a woman on the court deciding these issues is better than a man, even if I radically disagree with her. I am also angry about the outcome.

A female bigot is arguably worse, since they have to face sexism but still choose to oppress others. And I wouldn't consider someone willing to do that as having integrity, either

I look to the example of someone like C. Everett Koop, whose beliefs could not be further from mine but who showed real integrity and courage in office.
