Gonna be weird when we have a whole generation of young dudes who have been taught that chickening out of mildly risky confrontations while urging everyone else to do violence is what the most manly of men do.

Do not skip Judge Robert McBurney's footnotes.

2 ~ The fundament upon which the majority rested its opinion -- the falsely modest precept that "the Court is not the source of the Constitution's meaning" - guaranteed the outcome but misstates judicial (and political) reality. ... [T]he meaning of the Constitution is no more fixed than is the composition of the majority in the highest courts of the land -- especially when formerly bedrock principles such as stare decisis appear to be on the wane. Given that less majestic but undeniable reality, the more logical approach to assessing whether a legislative enactment is void at the time of its passage is to rely on the then-controlling Constitutional interpretations. ... Otherwise, "ghost" laws from years or decades past, enacted by legislators long since voted out of office, can spring to life when our ever-changing politics yields a new majority on our high courts, a majority which in turn imparts a new meaning to a supposedly unchanged and unchanging Constitution. But here we are.
