If SCOTUS doesn't forcefully end this, Kagan, Sotomayor and Jackson will have to seriously consider writing in their dissent that the decision is illegitimate and that the people should reject the court. It would mortally wound the authority of the court, but that would be the idea.

It's possible we can contain a large amount of the damage this administration is destined to cause, but it will require mass outcries by civil society to stand in for the half-principled Republican advisors who dealt with his tantrums in private during his first term. Those guys are no longer there.
