The Supreme Court is not making laws, it's dismantling them. Those issues shall return to the legislature, where they belong.
Should note, as I understand it, a great portion of the US model of law is based on "Common Law", mostly made up of case law, and adopting some coded law. Case law is debated by lawyers and ruled on by a judge. Case law has the benefit of having legal experts examine particular situations and make arguments for/against an outcome. Coded law written by elected legislatures has difficult time anticipating edge cases, but is perceived as being more democratic.
Regarding your anxiety about systemic stability: take a news break. I get worried about our situation too, but there's not much I can do about the big picture, just take care of my little part. The news is pretty intense, even my 8 year old child asks about some of the situations they're describing with worry. Kind of sad if you think about it, grown ups trying to keep their jobs in a changing media landscape, as a side effect they're scaring our kids.
