The Supreme Court cannot allow something blatantly unconstitutional without dire consequences, and at this point this feels like an exercise to point us towards the Supreme Court and reveal what it really is:
A branch that is disproportionately putting itself over that of the other branches instead of serving as a check against them, with no recourse for blatantly defying the Constitution.
At least with Congress and the Presidency, there are checks in place and things that the population can do.
Not so with SCOTUS. Clearly this is to demonstrate that they are not the monolith they are expected to be.
or, here's a better idea: the supreme court could have made the correct ruling. why demonstrate how corrupt the court is if you are already in control of it and can make them decide whatever you want? "lets make the court make dumb rulings so everybody questions them" is only a good idea if the point is to replace all the justices or the court system entirely. getting people to doubt a system you intend to preserve is not smart
Legislative branch makes laws, not Judicial.

Oh I agree completely, I am still pissed.
But SCOTUS is disproportionately powerful over the other branches and it wasn't supposed to be.
