What you actually mean is, "how dare the courts interfere with my bigotry." I don`t think it is a case of the courts being out of touch with the people. The average man on the street bases their opinion on rhetoric force-fed to them by the media and religion. The court bases its opinion on a careful examination of the facts in hand. If you want to describe it as being "out of touch" that is your right, but personally I see that as a good thing if that means being "out of touch" with spoon-fed opinions.
