What's scarier to some is 40 years of an ultra liberal on the supreme court.
Sotomayor was fine, but I do not trust this president to appoint another justice after the unqualified Kagan "he must have owed her a favor from their chicago law days" appointment.
Perverts the democratic process by passing popular laws like on the issue of abortion? The courts job is to interpret the constitution, not check popular political agendas they disagree with... and yes the abortion ruling was making policy, not interpreting the constitution (which does not in any way address trimesters).
(Side note, I could care less whether or not abortion is legal or illegal. It does not affect my life either way. I however do not like the Court making policy rather than interpreting the Constitution. We could have this same discussion on the Heller gun rights decision, the gay marriage decision, etc. )
