You happen to not understand how our system of government works.

The difference between your 'opinion' and a Supreme Court ruling is that their ruling is Federal case law to be enforced by the US military, Federal agencies and States. When they decide something, it is the law, period... Unless they overturn their own decision (which happens so rarely as to be nearly impossible), when Congress creates new laws that change the law of the land without violating the Constitution (presently congress can't agree on anything) or when there is a constitutional Amendment (good luck with that). The fact that congress has made itself so much less powerful actually makes the Supreme Court that much more powerful.

A lot of people had the 'opinion' that black children shouldn't go to school with white children. When the Supreme Court decided they should, the national guard showed up and those racist opinions were disregarded.
