But it’s a bad argument, because the SCOTUS has no power to enforce its will.
Their authority depends fully on the Rule of Law being a thing, of the Congress and the Executive and the lower courts recognizing them as legitimate. If they push things too far, that will happen, and suddenly they are six plus three people in robes that the rest of the government ignores.
If they push it, they will lose. I mean, in such a scenario, everybody loses… but the SCOTUS will lose in particular.
