In response to "It would have fired up the Democratic base and taken the air out of some of the GOP had it been overturned. -- nm" by spamlet

I really don't think so.

It would have given the right something to gloat about and put them in control of the debate for any new legislation (if it ever would happen, given that it had been 50 years of trying before this passed). And the left would have been depressed that they couldn't hold on to a major victory. This gives the left something to feel good about which is important.
