I don't think it's surprising, and if people weren't trying to focus only on this nonsense about half a sentence, I think there is enough about her to discuss, which should surprisingly create some real issues for the most partisan among us.
Despite being somewhat liberal, she seems to favor a very narrow reading of law and precedent, which in turn has led her to be overly deferential to the executive. Not surprisingly, in her most controversial cases (Center for Reproductive Law and Policy v. Bush, Doninger v. Niehoff, Didden v. Village of Port Chester) she sided with Bush appointed judges on upholding certain acts.
