"Are we forgetting POTUS has the final say over decisions he feels SCOTUS makes badly??"

I think we got rid of this principle in 1776.

Not exactly. The USSC has no way to enforce it's rulings. We the people could just as easily rumple their hair and say: "Aw, you made a ruling, how cute!" as to obey what they say.

As Jackson said: "John Marshall has made his decision. Now let him enforce it."
