Its not the first time, and it won't be the last. The court is a human institution, as capable of falling down on the job as any other group of, or creation of humans. All law, including the US Constitution, in a human construct, subject to human prejudice and failure. And the Constitution, as old as it is, is especially subject to past prejudice, not the current situation. Very little is like it was when it was written, so what these USSC justices are expected to do is project the guiding principles on a totally different world. A totally different world. We trust in each other, and we go to extreme lengths to pick the most qualified people among us to make these crazy decisions. Its what humans do, everywhere on earth. They form governments to enforce rules on each other. They make thousands of laws, keep the ones that work and throw out the ones that don't. Right turn on red light? Illegal until lawmakers figured out it made sense. If you're looking for perfection you won't find it in the Constitution or any human construct. Incremental change, evolution. It's what we do as a species. we're doing OK, we're dominating the planet.
