Well, we'd do better to handle things by statute rather than have nine unelected people "find" things when they are needed. The ultimate outcome would probably be no different but the process would be intellectually honest and would have avoided the politicization of the courts.

And for my last word on this I'll quote Judge Emilio Garza of the 5th Circuit, because he is more eloquent than I

In Causeway Medical Suite v. Ieyoub, expressed dismay that the Supreme Court's broad readings of the word "liberty" in the Constitution "have slowly eroded the scope of public debate." Garza argued that if the court had stayed out of several arenas—for example, marriage, child rearing, school curricula, abortion—state laws might have changed "as public attitudes changed." Instead, "the people's Constitution—at least as to unenumerated constitutional rights—has become the Court's Constitution."

SCOTUS has too much power, they shouldnt be deciding these issues it is up to congress.

OK. You're a good person, it's your sentence structure that is faulty. Read again what you wrote:
"I have no duty to the State or God to obey an unjust law."
I take it you mean you don't have a duty to God to obey an unjust law of man.
God probably wouldn't give a hoot if I lit a cigarette in an NYC bar.

"Judges aren't immune from criticism and neither are their decisions."

"We must correct this oversight," Kennedy added.

True. I know I sure don't.
