We can re-review established law and give it the "correct" decision this time. Wouldn't surprise me if they went as far as either ignoring the Constitution/Amendments outright or found the Constitution unconstitutional.

Men won't start feeling any legal lack of privacy starting tomorrow, nor in the near future.
