Unpleasant decisions would lead to a severe Constitutional crisis. I think the court has decided to punt all the tough cases.
SCOTUS mirrors our society, which is split 50-50 between patriots and parasites. This situation cannot, of course, endure.
States should defy any federal rulings that the SCOUTS punts back to lower courts....when it deals with state laws that protect the rights of states residents that the feds refuse to do so
Let the Feds try to enforce lower Fed court rulings

Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation
The SCOTUS acts like almost every other court, their decisions create work for the pimps of the legal industry: namely, LAWYERS!
They challenged Lord Obama with the Citizens United decision so he turned the intimidation machine loose on them.
Just like the Tea Party challenged Lord Obama in the midterms, so he turned the intimidation machine loose on them.
Chicago Way.
The SCOTUS has become as corrupted as the rest of the US govt. The whole fish is rotten.
