Her votes in key rulings, such as those regarding USAID payments and Trump's legal challenges, suggest a pattern of siding with the left, undermining conservative priorities.

Breitbart: Next German Govt Agrees to Kill 'Debt Brake' to Massively Boost Spending
Germany's political parties have agreed to revise the constitution's borrowing restrictions, allowing for over 1 trillion euros in spending on defense and infrastructure. This marks a significant shift from Germany's traditionally debt-averse stance, driven by recent crises including the pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The reformed debt brake will exempt military spending over 1% of GDP and create a substantial infrastructure fund, aiming to boost economic growth and improve public services. Economists predict this change could revitalize Germany's economy, which has faced stagnation, and enhance its defense capabilities in light of shifting U.S. security policies.
