The left has no one to blame but themselves for this

Inasmuch as I find myself liberated by Christ from that manmade misery, I wish there was some polite method, some dignified manner, some gracious way to say to my dissatisfied fellow countrymen that they currently find themselves laying in a bed of their own making.

I know that sounds haughty and insensitive. I just don't know how else to say it.

Because it was the left that chose to exaggerate the role of the federal judiciary well beyond its intended constitutional scope. Theirs is the ideology that has sewn into the courts a legislative power that was never intended. Discontent to wait on the natural evolution of the culture towards their way of thinking, impatient and unwilling to invest the time and effort into the hard work of persuading the public to align with their perspective, the left made the calculated decision two generations ago to use the courts to accomplish their legislative ends.

Beginning with the Warren Court, progressive activists in black robes reinterpreted laws, ignored precedent, and imposed leftist orthodoxy through judicial legislation. Abortion was imposed on 50/50 states through unconstitutional judicial policymaking, Obamacare was inflicted upon 50/50 states through unconstitutional judicial policymaking, same-sex marriage was foisted upon 50/50 states through unconstitutional judicial policymaking.

The reason the left is in such utter agony over the prospect of another conservative jurist being appointed is because the left's calculated decision to impose its will on the majority without its consent endowed those jurists with far more power and responsibility than they ever should have wielded.
