I care that the honor of the court is maintained so that the separation of powers remains intact and according to principle. If the Supremes bend to the appeal of popular whim, they risk damages to the integrity of the court over time, as popular movements have a tendency to reverse themselves over time. The term, 'Activist Judge' has been applied to judges who go beyond their role to advance popular social movements. In addition sounding a horn to announce a candidate chosen to provoke conservatives because she is hispanic stinks of racism. She seems like a solid mainstream judge who is seen as liberal but not a wild eyed radical. I think that is a good choice without exaggerating any of her characteristics by calling her an 'activist' or by accentuating her ethnicity.

>>Yea, who cares really.... Supreme Court stuff is all overblown... all these abortion folks get in such a tizzy. DAK<< It is a huge deal. I got a girl preganant when abortion was illegal and saw many of my frineds use Humphery's 11 and drive to Mexico and coat hangers. We liberals will fight to the death to prevent going back to the primitive behavior of back ally abortions. I have had it with right wing idiocy. And, thank god, I am sure the kids think the right wing is nuts. College kids anyway. Obama and we liberals are going to design a new modern society of intellect and compassion and the right wing be damned. And the right wing knows how to do, is drink and be stupid. They are not fit to run the country. And pro lifers will just need to learn a little existentialism, so they can deal with their primitive conflicts.
