move beyond the Appellate Court levels. What Congress legislates is law.

What Third Branch courts uphold are laws passed by the First Branch, and those laws are signed by the Second Branch -- or what's the point of any law at all. Or democracy, for that matter
When the harms -- not just to individuals' and groups' lives, but to society's economic well being -- of Dobbs and previous strikings of the Voting Rights Act are presented, the lower courts and expanded the Supreme Court will uphold Congress's laws because those laws align with the 1st, 7th, 9th, 13th, 14th and 18th amendment rights and the American people's will.

Democracy has to withstand huge fights or it will perish.
