This sentence betrays a rather fundamental lack of understanding of the role of the Supreme Court. The SCOTUS in no way shape or form is there to represent the "will of the people". And you should be happy about this as otherwise you wouldn't have gotten desegregated schools and same sex marriage.
You may be comfortable living in a society of mob rule instead of the rule of law. I most certainly am not.
1. Peaceful protests aren't intimidation unless you're the kind of no spine judge whose afraid of people you wrongfully judge, at which point you kind of deserve it anyways.
2. Same sex and interracial marriages were the will of the people except for the minority of homophobes and racists.
3. I want to live in a society where the minority doesn't get to dictate how the majority live. Just because you scream loudest doesn't make you right (I'm speaking of religious fundamentalists and the obscene idiots on the far side of any ideology). What's good for the goose is good for the gander as they say, and striking down Roe to open up women (i.e: the goose) to all kinds of frivolous lawsuits and back alley abortions is most certainly going to affect a lot more than just them.
