I am confused here. What is the role of a Supreme Court Justice?

It is to interpret the Constitution. Period. No politics, no activism, no self importance.

The question is, can she do this? Because if you are all hoping that she will be an activist for the right, than you are no better than the activists on the left.

That's exactly what they want. Someone who's in the bag.

Interpreting the Constitution WOULD constitute 'judicial activism' as it would necessitate overturning 50+ years of liberal unconstitutional precedent....

Well said. I hope you get "heard" through the hysteria that is going on.
