Ya the real problem is that people treat the judicial branch like another legislative branch. Honestly as far as I’m concerned the judiciary should generally stay out of declaring things unconstitutional unless they are really egregious - when a democratically elected body implements a new policy legally, you ought to bend over backwards to try and allow it to be law. This is why the ObamaCare decision was a good one and why the travel ban decision was a good one (and the dissenters in both cases, aka everyone except for Roberts and including Kennedy, are shameless hacks).

If you don’t like a policy, win the next election. Don’t try and take a lawsuit to court to get it legislated from the bench. Sadly this is the reality we live in now, however.
