“...why isn’t the 153 year history of a nine member Supreme Court also untouchable precedent?”
It isn’t untouchable. Since and including FDR, precedence is overturned to advance demonikrap-leftist power. FDR wanted to pack the court b/c to that point in time the justices kept rejecting his socialist legal maneuvers. His public reasons included that the court needed more justices to help with the case load. That was a lie as there was no backlog. The GOP, some conservative democrats and some major newspapers called him out on the lie. His party leaders then would not support it and got it out of the news as soon as possible to keep Saint Franklin’s image holy. In the end FDR got what he needed as the Supreme Court was bullied indirectly through threat of expansion and the court started to render decisions in FDR’s of his socialist policies. (That precedence led to other precedeence that has moved the US so far away from its Constitution, our Founders would not recognize the country they started.)
Obozo publicly bullied the Supreme Court with veiled threats when it was considering the legality of obozocare. It worked when Roberts turned his coat. This latest insider leak was intentionally done for political purposes to maintain if not advance the left’s power. The person that did it is not a lone wolf ... probably was in contact with demonikrap party operatives. We will never know the name of this person - like traitor scum*** Vindeman’s whistleblower - and it could be one of the leftist justices .... like Sodahead. The asymmetry in how our country operates, how rules are applied , who is prosecuted, who is praised and who is torn down etc. is quite significant, tyrannical.
