   At what point does the handwringing about SCOTUS end & get replaced with a plan to ignore them?

     So then folks have to acknowledge the problem is Congress, and legal corruption, not SCOTUS. It's unfortunately more structural than the "rogue" court.

     Mainstream commercial media & Congress not pushing a narrative that Congress *can* check the court is MSM & Congress *enabling the court*.

     See also, members of Congress "leap to action" to protect SC justices from protesters. They're actively legitimizing this state of affairs.

     I don't mean pack the court. I literally mean ignore them.

     "Some states had preceded #SCOTUS in doing away with Chevron... If a state wants to preserve deference [to agencies], its Legislature can enshrine this process into law. But at the federal level, the old precedent is gone..

     “In a world where Congress is functioning, Congress can check the courts.. If Congress were doing its job, quite frankly, the concerns around this would be a lot more muted.”"
