Let's face it. SCOTUS gives not one crap about the Constitution. They make up its own laws based on international opinion now.

I never said they didn't. As long as they have jurisdiction over a particular case, they're going to be pulling the same crap over and over. Congress has several options available to control the federal courts including impeachment, amending the Constitution, and restricting the courts' jurisdiction.

If they won't even change the arbitrary (not law) rules of the Senate so that a super-majority is not required to confirm a Federal Judge, what hope is there that they would vote to nullify the SCrOTUS'jurisdiction in any area of the law?

Impeachment is not a remedy for unpopular opinions which is why the Court was made immune from most political pressure.
