Scotus is not coequal to Congress. It wasn’t written that way in the Constitution. The proof is that if he flips them the finger, Congress can fire him if they choose.
The Supremes on the other hand cannot touch a Congressman.

Furthermore, the Congress can sell the Supreme court building, cut his budget, set his pay, decide what cases he may hear, etc.

Congress may not use it, but it is way more powerful than ANY supreme court justice.

“Scotus is not coequal to Congress.”

I’m sorry, this is the first I’m hearing that there are not 3 co-equal branches?

I see too all of your options Congress could choose to use are in frequent play and on the table for consideration.

Were I a justice, I could happily forego the commute and work from my home office. Jammies-time.

They cannot compel the Chief Justice to appear. They can invite him. They can subpoena the FISA applications. They WILL NOT do what you suggest.
