If it goes the wrong way (as I, and anyone else with a halfway decent grasp of English, reads it), it could set the stage for a future MAJOR shift in government. That, on top of the MASSIVELY unpopular NSA surveillance of Americans, would be a clear indicator of a runaway fascist state that the majority of Americans would absolutely not support. This sets the stage for a confrontation between those in power, seeking to maintain it, versus those who no longer willingly give them that power.
I also don't buy that "whatever the Supreme Court decides is correct and just and lawful", otherwise you would not get these split decisions. It is clearly a political body, and this ruling is going to tell us quite a bit about who is pulling the strings.
