The SCOTUS has been wrong, egregiously so, many times, and this overreliance on their views amplifies the very real problem of stare decisis and the bad precedents we allow it to set, especially when people confuse dictum (commentary) with order and findings.
One of my favorite examples of this: Wickard v. Filburn
Laws passed by Congress and signed by the President can overrule the Court. And if the Court finds that the law is unconstitutional, Congress and the States can amend the Constitution. But who has time for all that?
