I upvoted this but it could really do without the last paragraph. Courts aren't telling us who we are or what we can believe. Trying to summarize our mess in so few words isn't something I'd attempt. Finally: many of us live differently and are doing our best to shift things more broadly.
Courts are not meant to tell us who you are what you can believe, but they are - by the SCOTUS' own admission - swayed by public opinion, and often support a narrative they perceive within wider society. The back/forth on abortion rights is a reasonable example.
