19. They HAVE to choose a side. Any appealed lower court case will force them to choose - individual choice or no choice

By Kavanaugh's reasoning, they can just overturn all the judgments regarding civil rights and women's rights and just let the US be its rampant racist and sexist self running wild, and all things he deludes himself into thinking they are social issues, when they are more accurately individual rights issues, a foundational constitutional principle.

From a strictly Solomonian standpoint, I would argue that the Supreme Court is the best vehicle to address impassable issues - wise, impartial, oathed to written but evolving principles - who better to make a decision in accordance with national identity?
