It seems today's GOP talking point is that the liberals will nominate more "activist" judges to "take control" of the court.
Yes, it's more fear and more division and isn't based on reality. But, the GOP will bleat on and on despite having altered America's appeals courts to be
more in line with a conservative judicial ideology than at any other time in memory and they fear losing control of the circuit courts

My question is in two parts: why is that a bad thing? And which decisions would you use to support a move toward fewer "conservative" ideologues in our courts?
In other words, which cases would you point to to say,
these are the reasons why the GOP are as good at justice as they are at governing? (Also, if you could please explain why you included the cases that you have.)
Thank you in advance.
