@djc @Atrios the likelihood is other branches, when they substantively disagree, will treat decisions extremely narrowly and force courts to relitigate every variation, and that lower courts will also treat decisions narrowly forcing the SC to restate themselves, etc. overall, a kind of state actor work-to-rule. more constructively, the likelihood Congress does its job and reforms the Court quite substantially is much increased when the public is disinclined to defer to the existing Court.
