First of all there are nine justices who are performing the roles established for them under the constitution which was created and ratified by the sovereign American People. This People can change it should they desire and they have at times and will again no doubt.

This ruling is a product of the Constitution working AS the Founders envisioned.

"This ruling is a product of the Constitution working AS the Founders envisioned."

No it is not.

"At the same time, the candid citizen must confess that if the policy of the Government upon vital questions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made in ordinary litigation between parties in personal actions the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned their Government into the hands of that eminent tribunal." - Abraham Lincoln, First Inaugural Address.

So, that's what the founding fathers envisioned for the United States? I don't believe that. I hardly think they'd establish a government with the intentions of it becoming not much different than the "tribunal rule" they'd just declared independence from.
