"You need four member of the Supreme Court to grant certiorari (thanks Catspaw) and five to reverse. Count the votes. Do you have them?"

Doubtful. But if this becomes a severe national security issue, I expect the president will resolve it. Happened before. Not making any bets, but I'm still choosing 'heads' on the 10th Amendment and pitching my tent on the beach. How about you?

No, the President does not tell the Supreme Court how to vote. That's a separation of powers issue. Not making any bets, but I'm still choosing 'heads' on the 10th Amendment and pitching my tent on the beach.

I have no idea how the 10th Amendment can be brought up at this late date with respect to this particular case, as I've already said. As for "pitching my tent on the beach," again, I have no idea what you mean by this.

As for "severe national security" issue, no, I see no reason for insurrection. If you're serious, then you're talking about armed violence, and that's clearly unwarranted.
