The challenged party gets choice of weapons, and duels are part of the medieval tradition of trial by combat. And the two litigants can choose a champion. So POTUS’ champions would be martial-arts and combat trained Secret Service agents. Who would the SCOTUS justices’ champions be? Their clerks? Would silenced pistols be allowed as a choice of weapons?

Dueling is for gentlemen. There are none of those in this administration.
