Degradation of the Supreme Court?

[timslash]

The Supreme Court of the United States (first abbreviated as SCOTUS in 1879) was established pursuant to Article III of the United States Constitution in 1789 as thehighest federal court in the United States.

The Supreme Court, our pride and the guarantor of freedom! But Supreme Court is degraded now or not?
Supreme Court decisions than:
Marbury v. Madison (1803)
Plessy v. Ferguson (1896)
Brown v. Board of Education (1954)
Ableman v. Booth (1859)
Loving v. Virginia (1967)
Epperson v. Arkansas (1968)
Really famous, decisions which gave us America in the truest sense of the word.
Supreme Court decisions now:
United States v. Martin Linen Supply Co. (1977)
Citizens United v. FEC (2010)
Burwell v. Hobby Lobby (2014)

And now, decisions about gay and lesbian rights...

Folks can agree or disagree with SCOTUS decisions. The fact that we might disagree from time to time doesn't degrade the Court.

What they elect to "hear" is also not an indication of a degraded Court. Again, we might think that some of the stuff they agree to hear is not worthy of the time of that Court. But our disagreement with them on such decisions also doesn't "degrade" them.

Hobby Lobby, for example, was a good case to hear and was properly decided.
