My opinion on the decision!

I personally think that their choice was correct. If any of our constitutional rights are infringed I believe it is not only our duty but moral obligation to make sure that it is fixed. The Constitution is what makes America great, it is our ground rules and without it America would have definitely fallen to tyranny just like England.
