It seems strange to me that one of the three branches of government, the Supreme Court, can unilaterally give itself more power at the expense of Congress. Why does the Congress need to go along with this? Can they just ignore the Supreme Court as being out of line, and continue business as usual? It is ironic that the strict originalists on the Court ignore all the writings of the founders on how the Supreme Court should be a weaker branch of the government, while they are creating an "Imperial Court".
The only authority SCOTUS has is that which is voluntarily given to it by the people and the states. Andrew Jackson said, in regards to the Indian Removal Act, "Justice Marshall has ruled, not let him enforce it".
Governor Abbott and other Southern Governors, like in Alabama have told SCOTUS to fuck off, everyone else should as well.
