5 of 9 supreme justices were selected by presidents who lost the popular vote. Do you think that contributes to why the rulings coming from the Scotus (often) tend to be contrary to what the majority in America wants today?
The supreme court is not in place to uphold or overrule what the majority wants. Not only is it almost impossible to understand what the majority actually wants. It is the sole purpose of the supreme Court to uphold the constitution.
