SCOTUS won’t be able to do shit against a determined president. They’re the most powerful branch now, but only one branch has direct access to an enforcement arm, and it isn’t SCOTUS.
They better tread carefully. People are only going to become more extreme the more they continue dictating from the bench for the wealthy and corporations. They could be completely neutered as an institution.
The president could also order the executive branch to stop enforcing their rulings. It doesn’t even have to involve Congress. They could even counterdict SCOTUS. I’m not saying it would automatically work, but it could work under the right conditions.
I do believe they have entered Fuck Around and Find Out territory
