I read a comment somewhere where someone theorized that maybe they ruled this way to try to quell dissent ahead of a possible decision we won’t like. I think maybe it was the Harper case? Not 100% sure.

I heard Krystal Ball say it might be a move to somewhat reestablish the trust in the SC after the RvW decision demolished it. I guess both of these ideas make some sense.

It should concern everyone that any judicial decision was based on politics. This is true of whether you like the decision or not. The elected representatives reflect the will of the people, not the judiciary (in my biased Canadian view, anyway).
