The effect of the long liberal hegemony in the court on social issues has been their removal from the democratic process in favor of rule by a handful of justices, all from a very narrow and elite social circle (i.e. Harvard and Yale law schools). Consequently, the court’s usurping the right of the people to make decisions through the democratic political process has been to politicize the court, to make contested issues dependent not on the Constitution, but rather who sat on the Supreme Court.
Nearly every gain for social liberalism or the sexual revolution in the past 50 years came NOT through ELECTED legislators, but was dictated by the Supreme Court.
The people lost the right through their vote or through states' rights to resolve some of the most difficult and consequential issues, deprived by the court of the ability to decide on the nature of marriage or the right of the unborn child to legal protection.
Now that liberal domination of the court is threatened, Democrats and their backers in academia, the media, and law, are going ballistic. They showed during the Kavanaugh hearings how far they would go to block the confirmation of any nominee who failed to toe the liberal line in these matters. Their worry was not the Law or the US Constitution. Their worry was control of the Supreme Court and the ability to MAKE LAW by its decisions.

Judicial legislation must end ! The Libtards must not be allowed to force their extreme socialist doctrine down the throat of the American people thru judicial legislation. They can’t get the majority to pass a law so they have circumvented the Democratic process by using Liberal Judges to defeat the will of the people.
That shit ends now! 5/4

They will really go ballistic when POTUS replaces Ginsburg and all the Obama Scotus appointments are removed as a result of an illegitimate Obama presidency and everything he did is null and void. He will be charged and convicted of TREASON and either executed or sentenced to life in GITMO. As Bob Dylan said "The times they are a changin'" Now that's making America great again. God Bless America and the Patriots!
