“In battles between a popular president and an anti-majoritarian Court,”

Too bad for them Obama is not at all popular with Americans and the court is standing for the American majority.

Personally, I think this may be the one protection for the SC. Many Americans have very little idea what the Court does (rule on constitutional issues), but still they see it as an institution that is in a sense above or apart from politics. Bambi was trying to whip up populist-style hatred of the Court, but I don't think it's going to be that easy for him.
