Yes, because sweeping social change should never be accomplished through the courts. Remember how the state legislatures ended segregation?

To a large extent, that replaced de jure segregation with de facto segregation as white flight academies were set up.  It also eroded support for public schools in general.  However, with both desegregation and ending restrictions on interracial marriage, the courts intervened to make uniform a rule that a majority of states had already adopted.

It is not good for a republic to be governed by the judicial branch instead of the legislative.  If the judicial branch intervenes too often to thwart the wishes of the people, the people will eventually rise up and unseat the dictators who think they know better than the people.
