It might require POTUS to dust off a history book, but extremely low public opinion in the court has been relevant before now.

Upthread, or on the SCOTUS shenanigans threads, at least one of the justices is aware that [We][1] The People are Supreme in the USA, not the Court. That the Law ultimately requires the consent of the people, and if public have a lower opinion of the court than [insert wittisism here] that’s a constitutional crisis.
Well, “y’all” anyway. I’m over in the 51st State
