I think slim majorities show how divided the nation is. If there were absolutely no merit to the cases brought before the Supreme Court then they wouldn't be brought forth that far. The lower courts would have ended the case and/or the SC review would never have put it on the docket if there wasn't a foundation to the law.
A bigger majority would have been nice, but I have a feeling on some of these close cases (and almost all of them are by 5-4 or 6-3 margins) it's more political grandstanding from the dissenters who once a majority was reached could say..... well I disagree.... but nothing I can do. However, had the majority been needed they would have been in it.
Obviously there are laws that need interpreted and judges go by how they determine the laws read.
On a total side note: this is not a left or right issue both sides have taken advantage of this from the beginnings of our country. If you don't like the laws then vote to take them off the books.
I find it very disingenuous to have one side or the other use this for political gain when their side is equally responsible.
