Barrett seems qualified and she'll probably have the votes in the Senate, possibly with Mike Pence having to break the tie. She'll have to answer for herself first in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, where the Democrats will ask hardball questions.
It also seems to be the case that most (not all) of the SCOTUS justices who are appointed as conservatives become more liberal, once on the bench.
She'll be under a microscope when it comes to any religion-related decisions.
One Republican Senator claims he won't vote for her confirmation unless she actually pledges to vote to overturn Roe v Wade! He's obviously unclear on the concept of non-partisanship for Supreme Court Justices.
