Sudden change is what has brought divisiveness to this country.  Our system of government was set up to allow change to take place gradually so as to permit acceptance by the People.  The usurping of power by the Supreme Court and by the President (via executive order) has disrupted the balance of power, permitting change that used to take forever via the deliberative legislative process (which represents the voice of the People) to occur very quickly.

A conservative Court, by definition, will not seek change but will seek to hold fast to the Constitution and allow legislative change to take its course via the intended process: Congress.
