Meh, I have my doubts about SCOTUS. They have avoided all Constitutional issues except 2A where they could clear things up going forward. Yet they carve a tiny slice of a case, leaving the overwhelming issue open for abuse.
Primary examples are COVID and 2020 election fraud... moot and lack of standing. Particularly TX and other conservative states lacked standing against CA and AZ and other cheating states despite the Constitution literally saying state disputes go immediately to SCOTUS. In that world, state disputes go directly to war.
I suspect the Diddy and other style blackmail control levers have much influence over SCOTUS decisions.

None of this is trivial to eliminate unless Congress shares the same focus on the Constitution. And right now, they do not.
No they do not, but the Supreme Court does.

Your last sentence should be ridiculous, a farce, or a joke, but I fear it is all too close to the truth.
Epstein Island is another example.
Who knows how many of the powerful are having that string pulled as needed.
