"The moment you begin to censor the writer- and history bears this out in the ugliest of fashions -so begins a process of decay in the body politic that ultimately leads to disaster." ~Rod Serling Speech, Library of Congress (1968)

Judges, incl. SCOTUS justices, know there's usually leeway in issuing findings. "The letter of the law" is rarely completely rigid, nor should it be. To claim they're "just interpreting the law" is disingenuous, dangerous, and lacks much needed social responsibility. Axiom: help people.
