I would just nitpick a bit. A 5-4 decision is seen as a mandate if it supports the liberal view of an issue. For example liberals consider the 5-4 decision on homosexual marriage as being a civil rights mandate which should never be reviewed.

But liberals say that a decision such as Heller or Hobby Lobby lack a mandate and should be reviewed and overturned. I believe that both were 5-4,,but were 5-4 for the conservative view.

The supreme court needs to be disarmed and gutted. It’s members are not our God-like rulers and it is well past time that Americans stopped taking marching order from them.

Unconstitutional SC rulings should be ignored and flagrantly disobeyed just as unconstitutional laws passed by congress should be. Ditto for unconstitutional executive orders.

Assert your liberties or abdicate them. There is no negotiation.
