The fact that they voted in this manner, shows there are more sides to any issue than one, and why we have courts with odd numbers of justices. We have courts with 1,3,5,7 and 9 Justices or Judges in our system. Your view is one sided and your way of looking at it is from one agenda, however on 2 occasions, 7 judges saw it in another way, not from emotions but from sound legal letter of the laws. Which side prevails is no easy answer with many issues. That should not be to hard to understand that the laws may not be simple.
I'm sure the public record of each Justices rulings are easy to find. If you care that much for this issue, I would think you would have read it completely, but you don't care enough to read the others rulings content. I do not need to explain their position, this is their level of legal expertise, how the law is inturpeted and what rights prevail over others. That is why we have these courts, to decide when rights conflict, laws conflict, or public policy is discriminatory. As I said before, the mood of the courts, is swayed by liberal and conservative administrations who appoint Justices based on their Liberal or Conservative stance on issues and the laws.
