The politicians have failed, the courts have failed. What is left to do?

The correct recourse, even though I may not agree with you on this particular case (don't know yet), is the impeachment of judges and their permanent removal from office. They have become a ruling class unto themselves, an elite among elites. They exercise tyranny in the name of justice and betray the Constitution every season.

Regime change in the courts. - Impeach activist judges!

I'd go further than simply impeaching judges such as O'Connor who show advanced symptoms of senility - I suggest a Constitutional amendment making Supreme Court justices subject to a popular vote, with a limited if fairly long term of office - say, 8 or 10 years?
