People that think a court challenge to a referendum or a piece of legislation is evidence that the Constitution hangs by a thread would amuse me if not for the simplicity of thought behind the sentiment. The Constitution was written specifically so that these referendum and legislation could be challenged. These court systems are evidence that the system is working and that should be celebrated.
Your claims that the Constitution hangs by a thread are made simply because you don't like the opposing point of view. I would be very surprised to hear people who feel this court case is an affront on the Constitution also believe that the Court cases challenging gun control laws were an affront to the Constitution. Judicial review is an important part of the Constitution, and the 'hanging by a thread' argument is a smoke screen that is used by only when people don't like the challenge.
It might also be worth while to look into the veracity of that whole 'hanging by a thread' prophecy.
