Supreme Court is [merely] ratifying what the majority of Americans will accept.
If this were true then we wouldn't need a Supreme Court at all, and/or it wouldn't matter who gets appointed.
You used the word "wrong". The SC doesn't decide right and wrong. The SC decides what the MO of the government will be, until Congress or a future SC changes it. It's a statement of position, a very powerful one, but not a statement of correctness. The history of the SC makes clear that treating what they say as "right" and everyone else as "wrong" won't lead to any consistent sense of right or wrong.
It's a fundamental principle of the US that people can hold opinions that differ from the current law of the land.
