If the Supreme Court of the United States upholds the constitutionality of a law, that's as legal as it gets. That is their job. To interpret the constitution. While I may not personally agree with every decision they make, that is the way things work in the USA.
Welcome aboard the roller coaster. Thank you for protecting, serving & upholding your oath to defend the Constitution of both the USA and your state.
To your post: Unfortunately things don't work in this great country as the founders had envisioned. The Founders never gave or wanted the power to interpret the Constitution in the hands of SCOTUS. The practice is called Judicial Review. It started with Marbury vs Madison and Chief Justice John Marshall.
Thomas Jefferson's Letter to A. Coray, October 31, 1823:
“
At the establishment of our constitutions, the judiciary bodies were supposed to be the most helpless and harmless members of the government. Experience, however, soon showed in what way they were to become the most dangerous; that the insufficiency of the means provided for their removal gave them a freehold and irresponsibility in office; that their decisions, seeming to concern individual suitors only, pass silent and unheeded by the public at large; that these decisions, nevertheless, become law by precedent, sapping, by little and little, the foundations of the constitution, and working its change by construction, before any one has perceived that that invisible and helpless worm has been busily employed in consuming its substance. In truth, man is not made to be trusted for life if secured against all liability to account.”
a quote from Abraham Lincoln’s first inaugural address:
“…The candid citizen must confess that
if the policy of the government, upon vital questions, affecting the whole people,
is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made,
in ordinary litigation between parties,
in personal actions, the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having, to that extent, practically resigned their government into the hands of that eminent tribunal.”
Another quote from Abraham Lincoln
"We, the People are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts — not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow men who pervert the Constitution."
A quote from a sitting Justice:
"Day by day, case by case, the court is busy redesigning a Constitution for a nation I do not recognize."
Justice Antonin Scalia

The biggest concern, in my opinion, is the militarization of local law enforcement and the attitudes of misguided leo's that forget or don't understand their oath. Their has also been an issue with labeling those who would call themselves Constitutionalists and Sovereign Citizens as "extremists" or "radicals". Those 2 nomenclatures should be worn proudly by every freedom loving, United States of America loving, individuals.
