"The Supreme Court is meant to reflect our collective values, not maliciously and contemptuously take a cudgel to them." I thought it was supposed to uphold the constitution, not bend to majority opinion?
Having said that, I'd love to know what percentage of Americans were ever in favour of systemic racism in the guise of affirmative action, or indeed in favour of the total destruction of the principle of freedom of association (e.g. being able to force the Christian to work for a client in spite of his beliefs).
I think real narcissism is believing you should have special legal priority simply because of some demographic factor, I.e. affirmative action.
The constitution is a broad legal framework written 236 years ago which doesn't stipulate cultural sentiment. Biden said he disagreed with the Supreme Court's interpretation of the constitution, that it didn't line up with our values.

I don't think affirmative action need edge out the role of meritocracy; it's meant to be a leg up, not a free ride. 63% of Americans agree with affirmative action and suggest the meritocracy should be predominant, race considerations secondary. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/majority-americans-favor-affirmative-action-colleges-rcna86853
It's my understanding that freedom of association hast more to do with private clubs than businesses https://constitution.findlaw.com/amendment1/first-amendment-freedom-of-association.html
