And for the third time, why is it so horrifying to have a majority of SCOTUS justices who will be guided by what the constitution says, not by what they wish it said? WHat could be more scary than having someone with a lifetime appointment, who feels entitled to force their own personal moral compass on 320 million people? That's what's totalitarian. Always being guided by the constitution? Why is that so scary?

This isn't a power grab, it's the opposite of that. It's a desire for smaller federal government dominance, and more local authority. Again, I don't see why that's scary, unless you like the idea of legislating from the bench. Which is an idea that liberals like, since their agenda fails so often in the court of public opinion. Easier to ask 5 judges who aren't answerable to anybody, to ram your agenda through.
