Two of my aunts are Southern, Catholic, and KD (sisters twice!) - on opposite ends of the political spectrum - they are both pleased to see a KD sister nominated, but one has had personal experience with the nominee's church and that colors her view of the nomination and ACB as a potential justice. The other is a lawyer and has been encouraging family on both ends of the spectrum to look into her actual ruling history and legal writings, before deciding she'll either be a boon to conservative causes or demonizing her as the end to all rights.
I didn't find out that one of my sorority sisters was a homophobe until I came out as bi - the murky underside didn't reveal itself until after we had graduated. If she ran for high public office, I'd sure be speaking against her character.
