The Constitution now says whatever the hell 5 out of 9 Supreme Court Justices want it to say at any point in time.

Of course, one problem with living under an oligarchy of judges with lifetime appointments is that a different 5 out of 9 Justices can always decide that they want the Constitution to say something else.

The SC has been granted way too much power. Period. 5 unelected individuals can overrule the will of an entire nation. It’s insane.

Yes, they certainly did that by blowing away the Bowers v. Hardwick decision, on a whim.
