Inside of two weeks, SCOTUS has given itself authority to:

- cancel legislation it doesn't like
- overrule regulatory bodies it doesn't agree with
- and after the fact legalize actions taken by a President.

Given that it's already got final say on the actions of the rest of the judiciary, that now consolidates the power of all three branches of American government under the authority of the Supreme Court.

In other words? It's a judicial coup.

Revolutions have been fought over less.

@AnarchoNinaWrites The worst part too is that since the judicial branch has no power to actually enforce its decisions, Biden and Congress could just... ignore this. But they won't. "Why doesn't Biden just add 99 judges to the Court?" If he did that, he would probably get half of them from the Federalist Society out of "fairness," with the other half being centrists at best. This is Joe Biden we're talking about after all.
