Why do you fear that result? Afraid that people might support more restrictions than you'd like?

I fear judicial activists of any color, stripe or political party affiliation.

They have no business on the bench.

PERIOD!!!!!!!END OF STATEMENT!

Dear Cold Heat,

Overturning Roe isn't judicial activism. It's judicial INactivism, in that it INactivates the court from such intimate involvement in this question.

Judicial decisions that have the effect of permitting legislatures and voters to decide issues, that abjure jurisdiction over questions, are the opposite of judicial activism. Do you understand that rather basic premise?

Overturning Roe returns the question to the political process, and would be an example of courts taking themselves OUT of the realm of activism.
