Also, it's basically impossible to get rid of supreme court justices, and for good reason. It allows them to rule on cases based only on what they legitimately believe to be the correct decision. The supreme court's job isn't to decide right from wrong, it's to decide legal from illegal. If you don't like their ruling, the way to change it should be through Congress, not though the courts.

I wish I was this blissfully ignorant.

What other reasons would they have to make the rulings they do?
