    First off, I absolutely will not defend the current Supreme Court. I disagree with them significantly.

    However, their opinion in this matter has only slightly more importance then yours or mine, and only because they are recognized legal scholars (or at least they are supposed to be) and we are not. The US Constitution does not grant them any power to judge a State’s constitution, so long as it does not infringe on a right of the US constitution. It wouldn’t even be possible to petition the Supreme Court on this issue because no lower court would hear it.
