Brown vs. Board of Education undid a ~60 year precedent. This case undoes a 50 year precedent. The court has to be allowed to undo precedents once in a while.

The court has to be allowed to undo precedents once in a while. Otherwise we'd have to fight a civil war over every Dred Scott case.
I'm NOT saying this case, or yesterday's, was rightly decided. I'm only pointing out that the court has changed its mind a number of times in the past, and will again in the future.
