Considering that a recent poll shows that about 70% think that the court's decisions are based upon ideology, I think that the SC is in a bad spot. Getting rid of the judicial filibuster did them no favors.
I would first note the conservative/libertarian response: disappointed, angry even - but not "burn it down!" when we lose. And this was a key case, make no mistake. But I think it will be back, the underlying case is still alive and before a district court. More importantly, the House is now watching and can continue to make those corrupt agencies' lives a living hell. And they've signaled precisely that.
Yeah, it's just a punt, not permission. But, it would have been nice for them to stand up for 1A. I think the practice will continue until another case comes along.
"If the Court won't do that for arguably the most important right we citizens have protected by the supreme law of the land, what good is it?" An alarming thought. For the first time I felt that the Supremes made a cowardly and costly punt.

I wonder if that figure has changed over time, or if it's just the norm.
