Nope. Electoral delegation is completely in control of the states. That why some can partition them (think ME and NE).

SCOTUS can do literally anything it wants, they're not constrained by any actual rules or laws or anything.

Oh, that's just hyperbolic defeatism. That type of thinking is really not good for you.

Stick your head in the sand, I'm sure they won't sneak up on you while you're hiding away from reality.

Prove me wrong. Show me literally any mechanism that can constrain the Courts that hasn't already been ruled out by Democrats and doesn't require Republicans to vote for it. They can accept bribes and overturn any law they want and openly support insurrectionists and there's jack shit anyone can do about it.

The Court is out of control and you have nothing to say about it except "nuh uh!"
