3. No. SCOTUS is the final, absolute and unquestionable authority of American law.

Even Congress passing a bill is meaningless. SCOTUS can simply overturn it - and nakedly say "we have no actual legal basis for this, we just don't like this bill" – and there's precisely fuck all anyone, Congress, the DOJ, the President, $DEITY themself, can do about it.

It's a fatal flaw in our system, that relied on a level of common decency to not be exploited. But then a group with no decency got hold of it. Sorry, but unless Dems manage to gain enough of a majority to successfully impeach, convict and remove Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett…we're fucked.
