This is now the information bubble that was also discussed in this thread.

No, "one side" is not using the court to realize political outcomes. Both sides are - and one side had a few decade head start if we really must sling mud. Some people don't like the outcomes recently, so they attack the courts as being stacked/abused/etc. forgetting all about the past few decades where they championed nearly every outcome...

In politics, you don't always get what you want. Some people find that concept inconceivable. When they don't get what they want, it must be because of cheating/abuse/criminality/whatever.

Here's a graphic showing the composition of the Supreme Court in terms of GOP vs. Democratic appointees over the past nine decades [1]. There were certainly periods of Dem dominance but they were relatively short compared to the overwhelming GOP dominance on that chart.
