Well it can call into question her interpretation of law and this is the same court she is nominated that has struck down a hand full of her rulings.

Indeed. No reason why it would. The case had already been flagged as one that Republicans were expected to challenge her on during her confirmation hearings anyway, and a 5-4 decision overruling the opinion (one she joined but did not write) doesn't exactly give the Republicans an "ah-ha!" moment.
