Justice John Roberts could have written this opinion piece but it still would not change reality.

Reality:

Decisions are considered law by the Congress and the Executive branch.

A decision by SCOTUS provides precedent on which lower courts will rule and by which law suits will be accepted by litigators.

SCOTUS is co-equal in the sense that it is embedded into the politics of our government.

SCOTUS is every bit as political as the Congress and the Executive branch. The Constitution made it a political body by providing for the President to nominate and the Senate to approve judicial appointments.

That’s reality!

A lady asked Benjamin Franklin: "Well Doctor what have we got a republic or a monarchy?"
"A republic," replied the Doctor, "if you can keep it.”

I think we lost the republic with Marbury v Madison in 1803. Justice John Marshall decided that the Supreme Court could decide what was and what was not a law. Black robed tyranny started early.

All it will take is one POTUS with the courage to tell the court thanks for your opinion but it will not be enforced. It is not in the Constitution. Then let the Congress work it out.
