I'd argue this kind of review by the Supreme Court is exactly what our Constitution intended. We're protecting against tyranny of the majority, or stripping rights just because a majority of people want a desired outcome.
The interesting thing is there are provisions in the Constitution that allow for a sort of tyranny of the super-majority. This is in effect what Walker is talking about with a Constitutional amendment. But, absent that, it's the Supreme Court's job to judge whether laws violate the Constitution.
