The only institution that can stop them is Congress and they know that's a dead letter so why the fuck not, who is going to stop them

Which is why they’ll, probably, say a president has no immunity. Why would they let someone else have power over them? If a president decides it’s a duty to just outright remove SCOTUS justices, there’s nothing to stop them.

I actually partially agree with Gorsuch's trolly take that if Congress doesn't like the interpretations they can rewrite the law, except it ignores practical realities about how hard it is to pass laws, shorter legislative tenure, longer waits for rulings, etc.
