The interesting thing about most of the stuff people say is that they seem to have no context from history. Every Republican in my lifetime ran on appointing judges. Trump deserves credit/blame for the overturning but I do not think this makes him worse from the progressive view than Bush.
After all, this decision simply pushes the issue back to each state to decide democratically. If this was a different issue like say the marijuana issue progressives would be in favor of states rights and conservatives against it. Both sides like consistent principles. Both seem to have a random collection of "issues" they care about and will do whatever they can force the whole nation to live under their rules. When I realized this years ago it was pretty depressing but once you understand it, its liberating.

He published a list of judges he would appoint in 2016. Unprecedented but I think it’s a good development.
I think every current and future president candidate should disclose a list of judges they want to appoint. More transparency voters should demand.
