This wasn't decided on a whim. The court challenged Texas to justify the law on a rational basis and they couldn't do it.
The Court's first whim was the presumption, contrary to the 10th Amendment and its own 1986 decision, that it even had standing to hear the case.

Why would it not have standing to hear the case? That's ridiculous. The defendants had standing to appeal, the case was ripe since they had been prosecuted, and the court granted cert. Please tell me why you think the USSC doesn't have standing in this case?
