What is right? What is just? What is moral? Per the Constitution, the SCOTUS may hear appeals from lower courts. They render decisions by majority vote. A 5-4 vote is just as valid as a 9-0 vote. They render decisions based on their interpretation of the Constitution. Whether they are right or not cannot be determined. But their decisions do become law. That's what we are left with.
