Have SCOTUS conservatives decided to issue unConstitutional rulings?

Can you see that would be quite a problem? No one to overrule them. But with the Texas abortion bounty system up and running, and several fast-track conservative opinions behind us, and this decision paper to overturn Roe, what else is there to think? As has been pointed out, the ninth amendment's personal rights clause has been ignored in this imminent ruling. Seems to me they're issuing unConstitutional rulings to fit a conservative, theocratic agenda. Who you gonna appeal to? The Supreme Court?

This is how it happens. America under conservative rule.

1. This is what bannon was talking about...

And this is how they destroy the courts along with everything else they can add to it.

2. They're not conservatives.

They are radical reactionaries. Time to change their name.

3. Did any party make an argument based on the Ninth Amendment?

The Respondents didn't. The administration's amicus brief didn't. The amicus brief of the ACLU didn't.

Hard to fault the Court for not addressing an argument no one made.

Why wasn't it made? Possibly because it wasn't relied on by the Court in deciding Roe or Casey. Even in Griswold, which was relied on by the Roe and Casey courts, the ninth amendment argument was found in Goldberg's concurring opinion, not the opinion of the court.
