No, it means that congress doesn't need to go beg the Supreme Court to be allowed to use its political-power. Chances are, since the majority wants it, the end results of those cases would be enforced. You'll still have a federal government that prevents discrimination, it just wouldn't beg kritarchs to do so.

Your belief that governments unencumbered by judicial review will only result in outcomes you favor strikes me as remarkably and dangerously naïve.

Anti-discrimination (the cases you mentioned) is a majoritarian position, so I don't see how you think it is naiive. The Supreme Court is far more conservative than Congress anyway, so my argument doesn't depend on these governments only favoring outcomes I support, but favoring outcomes I support more often than the Supreme Court.
