“It matters not what a court nowadays thinks of Article II. It’s legitimacy comes from the compact between states, and descends from what the Writers of the Constitution, and what the Ratifiers of the Constitution believed it to mean.”

According to that compact, as written and ratified:

“The judicial Power of the United States shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.” — U.S. Constitution, Article III, Section. 1.

You misunderstand the point. The Constitution grants them the power to enforce their decisions, it does not grant them the power to be infallible. The Ultimate power lies with the people; Us.

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

We do not have to accept their faulty judgements. If we are true to the Constitution, we WILL NOT accept their faulty judgements.
