26. But that doesn't create a crisis
If the Court upholds a law passed by Congress, where's the crisis? Both sides are in agreement.

This situation is different, if it arises -- Congress will have passed a law, using the authority explicitly granted to it by Article 3 Section 2. To overturn it, the Court essentially would have to assert that the text does not exist. Now that would be a recipe for crisis, which is why I think it won't happen -- it's just too brazen, even for this Court.
