An ideologically liberal Supreme Court would wrest all social issues from the voting public and hand them to the elite.
This has been going on for several decades already. Economic issue for almost 100 years. Ultimately, the entitity most responsible for opening the American system to socialism was the US Supreme Court of the 1930′s. They made rent-seeking constitutional, and this policy has only cemented over time. Without any constitional return to the Founder’s principles, the downspiral will only continue despite momentary restraint. Politicians currently have tremendous incentives to accrete power and reward special interests, and little or none to reign in such impulses.
