RBG -- Fair Critiques vs. Standard "the Left" Cant

I understand especially to the degree it led her to go overboard [Trump is some instigation but the average lefty did not simply give her a pass; compare some of Scalia's statements, at times on the bench] for people to be wary of hero worship of RBG or anyone, but as I note here that is the point -- be evenhanded. RBG has her moment and she deserves it -- she has had a distinguished career, she is eloquent and charming. Without saying "that's what the Right likes in a justice," some elderly conservative could have been treated similarly.

And Also: Compare the second comment (down to somehow making Thomas not an "icon") or the op-ed referenced making RBG into some "ethically challenged" justice her supporters give a pass too while not even admitting Scalia/Thomas/Alito/etc. counsels not to toss stones.
