Isn't it the court's job to protect us against unconstitutional laws? It shouldn't be concerned with what the majority wants. It's not the majority that needs protection. If judges are going to lean one way, I would prefer that they are liberal. I would rather be granted excessive rights (if there is such a thing) than have rights restricted. Conservatives always want to tell other people how to live. How about letting people live their lives without having your outdated ideals infringe on them.
