It's worth noting that "the court" is not -- and was never intended to be -- the ultimate arbiter of U.S. law. The executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government act as checks and balances on each other, and there is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that precludes the legislative and executive branches from telling the judiciary to "Go f#%& off!" on any given issue. And "f#%& off" they will -- because the judiciary is the one branch that has absolutely no means of enforcing its decisions.
