To quote CU as the worst decision out there is laughable. Personally I fully agree with the ruling, but even if I didn’t, isn’t Dredd Scott far more disastrous? Or Korematsu (allowed detention camps based on race)? Or the one that allows forced sterilization of the mentally retarded?

I qualified the statement as the "worst of the 21st century". If you were to compile a list of worst decisions ever, I think most lawyers would say Dred Scott v Sanford, Plessy v Ferguson, Korematsu v United States, Bowers v Hardwick, and Buck v Bell.
