While I understand cases in front of the SC are supposed to be decided by the Constitution, how much of an impact does Public Opinion about issues in front of the court have an impact about their outcomes. As an example would have the outcome in Obergefell v. Hodges, been any diffrent 10 or even 5 years ago(exactly the same justices).

5 Years ago this case would not be a case so, I guess yes.
