With a different makeup of the Supreme Court this could just as easily have gone the other way and that is scary. As grown ups the judges should be able to put aside their personal prejudices and rule on the law. Not sure that happened here. [emphasis added by me]

In fact, it sort of seems that you are sure that it didn't happen. Since the Court of Appeals was unanimous the other way, my guess is that the legal issue is closer than you think it is.
