>>> My only concern with the SCOTUS justices would be a “feel good” decision

I don’t think they’ll decide based upon what is popular, but what is Constitutionally-correct. IF they do side with what’s popular — “No justice, no peace!”

However, it’s scary to think: would the SCOTUS allowed this to happen, without review, if Leo hadn’t brought it up in the first place?!

You know ... that is a d*mn good point. The Balance of Powers at the Federal level is certainly slacking. Relying on the private sector to draw the SCOTUS into a "reactive" position is *not* the same as them being "proactive" in balancing government power as the Founders had intended. Certainly they should have jumped into the fray of their own volition earlier.
