I would agree with that. Just because people (don’t) want something doesn’t affect the morality of it. And the court is demonstrably not above politics; we need look no further than Plessy v Ferguson which had a comfortable 7-1 majority on the wrong side.
That said it’s interesting to consider what would have happened had the court found in Plessy’s favor back in 1896. What would the 20th century have looked like with no Jim Crow laws? When would baseball and the military have desegregated?
That’d be a good candidate for the “alternate history” thread.
Anyway, I think it’s fair to say that the threshold for convincing people that something is ok varies based on what we’re talking about.
I think in the 1970s and even into the 80s a lot of people really did think that by 49 years after Roe that abortion would be a non-issue. Yet here we are.
