Actually, they declared that they alone can decide what an official act is. Roberts’ opinion sets it up so that only the SC can decide. Lower court judges will call it as best they can, but any decision will be moved back up the appeals process for the SC to decide. They made themselves kings.

They wouldn’t let Biden forgive student debt, nor allow his administration to use their expertise to set rules. No way they’d let Biden get away with actual law breaking.

I think the best thing Biden can do is to make court reform central to his campaign-and every Dem running for office should too. Only if they control Congress and WH will the nation retake control of the SCOTUS. Absent that, the coup will be complete.
