And here I thought the Supreme Court was there to uphold the constitution.

Please elaborate on this statement. What part of the constitution is not being upheld?

Quoting the 8th amendment: "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."
Hence this verdict is unconstitutional.
