IT'S NOT A pROGRESSIVE PARTY:

As the chart below shows, her Judicial Common Space (JCS) score would place her toward the middle of the current Supreme Court, slightly to the right of Justice Elena Kagan and well to the right of Justice Sonia Sotomayor. According to those scores, she's also a middle-of-the-road judge on the court where she's currently serving.
