I should modify my answer. "Mindful" was surely a very carefully chosen word. One can be "mindful" of something they intend to completely overturn.
I believe Coney Barret intends to overturn most of RBG's legacy.
I am sure she respected her as a strong jurist, but that doesn't mean she thinks RBG's positions were right.
