I don't believe he's suggesting that the Court should do anything but interpret and apply constitutional law, but the fact that this was a close decision shows that it's not exactly obvious that the Court applied it in accordance with everyone's views on how that should be done. I can certainly see why some people would argue that the Court has stepped outside of interpretation and application and into righting what it perceives as a wrong on its own accord.
