I know they won't do it, but if Dems had any guts they would just explicitly challenge Marbury v. Madison, and just start ignoring Supreme Court decisions. You know the right wingers would do exactly that if they were in a similar predicament with a 6-3 liberal majority court.
the SC completely invented their power from whole cloth and (almost) every subsequent administration has just gone with it

People think that I'm crazy when I say the supreme Court is basically a toddler that adults are pretending has magical powers to not make them cry. It's maddening, ignore the toddler!
sorry i hated learning government in school, i know the president could pack the court but you’re telling me they aren’t even obligated to honor their decisions and ignore them?
The supreme court has no explicit constitutional mechanism or authority to enforce their decisions, so they literally made one up, the idea that when they declare a law unconstitutional it just suddenly stops being a law.
Everyone just goes along with it because the whole country was designed from the ground up to prevent good things and only elect people who want to prevent good things. But there's literally no reason the rest of the government couldn't just go "thanks for your opinion but we don't gaf"
