We don't usually say it in polite company but the "will of the people" in most of the US was, and still is, that white kids shouldn't have to go to school with black kids.
The supreme court tried to undo the will of the people with a couple of landmark decisions, but people found ways to have their wills enforced.

Any possibility that the court is composed of anything but political hacks was eloquently dismissed with Bush V Gore.
