It's not the decision people are mad about. It's using foreign laws to interpret the Constitution. Not to mention declaring a percieved national opinion a law.

From Kennedy's opinion:

"The opinion of the world community, while not controlling our outcome, does provide respected and significant confirmation for our own conclusions"

I've looked at the opinion a few times. I haven't seen any passages where the opinion relies on foreign law for its decisions.
