They’ve been rogue since Marbury v. Madison, when they excercised a power (strike down legislation as unconstitutional, AKA “judicial review”) found nowhere in the Constitution’s text. Still, good outcome in this case.

Have you even read Marbury v. Madison? Yes there's crap about judicial-review, but the last third of it is solid, and [IMO] would have been better if it was just the last third, but that last third is all about the supremacy of the/a constitution over a legislature's normal acts.

“but that last third is all about the supremacy of the/a constitution over a legislature’s “normal acts”.”

That’s as may be, but there’s nothing in the Constitution explicitly giving the SCOTUS the power to determine that. And other functioning representative republics (including Canada until the early 1980s) did quite well without judicial review.
