Forgive me if I'm wrong here, but isn't that exactly why we have separation of powers? Because an idea(l) is popular does not always make it right. In this country, to my (sometimes lack of) understanding we have an executive branch to make decisions, a legislative branch to tell us what "everyone" thinks of these decisions and provide corrections, and a judicial branch to correct "everyone" when it becomes unpopular and further correct.
It's a flawed system, but it's what we've got, and I personally approve of basic rights being upheld EOD, such as in cases presented like this.
