Whether or not that would have worked, it wasn't something that the Supreme Court could have done.
There are many ways the law could be better, but what we have is what was passed in the best circumstances we've had or are likely to have for a while. So while it would be nice to get rid of it and start over, that would be the same as getting rid of it and not starting over.
