I am confused here. Are you saying these are all myths?

Seems to me RGB did feel that ruling was weak and should have decided based on equal protections not privacy.

Do you really think they wouldn't still overturn if it was decided based on equal protection? We should not fall into the trap of deifying the court. They are not above politics and they never have been.

And they didn't rule against it because of the privacy angle. They ruled against it because they are trying to destroy the jurisprudence of substantive due process and unenumerated rights, because it serves their reactionary politics.
