Interpreting the Constitution should have nothing to do with one's political opinions (abnormal).

The Supreme Court's role should be reduced to the size that you could drown it in the bathtub, or at least to the size where the justices never make the news barring a scandal. Same with Congress.

This.  In the meantime, however, I very much support activist judges who will be warriors for the unborn and religious liberty.  This is where I break strongly from the GOP mantra of "no litmus tests" other than a verbal assent to strict constructionism - I don't care if there is a valid constitutional argument for Roe v. Wade, it was the wrong decision and every effort must be made to appoint justices who will tear it down. The left has a strong commitment to support justices who will transform the United States in the direction they want it to.  In this battle, we need to fight fire with fire, which is why Pryor would've been preferable to Gorsuch (I still think Gorsuch will vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, but I'd be far more confident with Pryor) for the sake of the unborn.

Do you support the death penalty for mothers who get abortions in cases of rape and incest?
