Robert's essentially rewrote the law.
First, you do understand that decisions aren't limited to arguments or briefs, right?

C.J. Roberts didn't "rewrite" any portion of the act, but found that most of it was not in violation of the US Constitution.

Your misunderstanding is therefore quite reasonable, I suppose.
