Well, if it was unanimous, then it was probably the right call, Constitutionally. But then, how do we enforce the 14th? Normally you sue, and the courts enforce the Constitution (e.g. a free speech suit). Well, this was adjudicated in a state court...for some reason they skipped the federal courts and went straight to SCOTUS, as I recall. Maybe if it was appealed to federal court, and upheld, the SCOTUS ruling (it would have eventually ended up there) would have been different?

You have to actually convict someone of a crime. You don't get to declare them guilty absent a trial just because you don't like them.
