I find the "she's a liar!" thing to be pointedly tedious. Of course she is. But she's a self invested liar, who would not benefit from breaking the current political system. And ultimately, an extremely important thing to remember is that she is invested in the left.... meaning that, like with Obama, her absolute greatest return for no real political cost is to appoint a liberal justice. Like her predecessor, her single real contribution to civil liberties could/would be to put someone in the SCOTUS who is going to advance LBGT rights, womens rights, voting rights, and the like, and it would satisfy these needs from her constituency for 2020. And even if the executive doesn't change even the tiniest bit, replacing Scalia with a liberal justice would certainly make a big impact in the years to come.
