Except for the Supreme Court, all lower courts are creations of their respective legislatures. How bold does such a jurist need to be to arrogate to themselves authority OVER the legislature that created the seat?

Wrong. There are also federal courts that are not the Supreme Court.

State supreme courts are the creation of the state constitution, as are the state legislatures.

Most state constitutions say all laws, including election laws, must be signed by the governor and be in compliance with the state constitution.

Independent state legislature doctrine says state legislatures are superior to the constitutions which created them. I think that’s a heavy lift at SCOTUS but we’ll see.
