There seem to be many (all or nearly all are Republicans) who are unhappy with the Supreme Court for their decisions on Obamacare and Gay Marriage. Some have even called for the elimination of the Supreme Court! You don't hear such cries when the Court makes a decision that they like, of course, such as on citizen's United.* The thing is that congress could (in theory) act on these matters, cut, since they don't, they push to have these matters decided by the Court. They have only themselves to blame if the court decides in a manner that displeases them.
Actually as some commentators have mentioned, these politicians yelling so loud now are secretly happy to have these issues taken off the table. Is it no wonder that congress is viewed so unfavorably by the public? In the meantime, recent polls suggest that Obama's ratings that he is doing a good job have risen to 50%* and even higher for his handling of the economy (52%).** I wondered when the public would wise up that the economy is doing pretty well.
* I consider this one of the all-time bad decisions by the Supreme Court (that companies are people) and presume that some year it will be fixed.
