Well, they are absolutely primarily being attacked because they threaten Roe vs Wade.

But you reference something which ramps up the anger. First McConnell abuses the process, twice, to give the Federalist Society two extra bodies on the court, 

then the nominees personally assure everyone not to worry cuz "settled law" and judges separate personal beliefs from the law. 

And Senator Collins--she who was sure that Trump had learned his lesson after the 1st Impeachment--was similarly sure that these Trump appointees would behave on the bench exactly as promised during their confirmation hearings.
