Aye. The Supreme Court is pretty famous for only making controversial changes when a strong public approval wind is at their back. I seem to recall reading a few opinions/dissents (I forget which) way back when that argued the court's legitimacy depended on not pissing off the masses too much. Gah. At least they (at last) got this one right.
