While I appreciate your passion, attempting to connect folks who believe that the power of the SCOTUS needs to be limited with RW thought/ideology, and using this as a propaganda device in order to try to bolster your position...that just ain't gonna fly here.
I suppose *the confederate* Thomas Jefferson was another budding RWer also? Due to the fact, of course, that he, too, believed that the the power of the SCOTUS should be limited?
You stated:
"It's not hard to see how this line of thought turns right wing to the core, again, and again, and again."
