5. Doesn't that mean he just made the Supreme Court

a legislative body? By saying the Court can ignore precedent and just decide to make laws from the bench. That's legislating not interpreting. How do 6 people arbitrarily decide, no, that previous majority didn't know what they were talking about, we're going to "ignore history" and start from scratch. Sound familiar?
The decision by these 6 is predetermined so they have to create a justification for their "decision". Since overturning Roe v. Wade it's getting easier for them to ignore precedent and make outlandish decisions. They answer to nobody, for now.

They have given the Presidency full immunity and by extension, they've given this rogue court the same immunity.
