I think that the Supreme Court is just tired of sorting out the Congress' (and state governments) mess caused by action or inaction.

My uneducated guess is that we will see a lot narrower decisions from the SCOTUS and probably some form of lesser engagement in the next couple of years.

It's literally not their job, if the Supreme Court got involved now... they'd have to tell the states they are not allowed to legalize pot, right?

That is exactly what they did in Gonzales v Raich - reasserted the legality and primacy of federal drug laws.

Wrongly, IMO, but that's the ruling.
