I'm pretty sure this is the actual aim of the court in this case, sending Congress a message to do their fucking jobs or face voter anger over them not doing what they are supposed to.

glances at the ongoing effort to hold Biden’s speech writer in contempt

Yeah, that is not going to happen.

That completely aligns with EPA v WVA, RvW, and assorted other major cases recently. SCOTUS has taken power away from the Executive and Judicial branches they never should have had and insisted Congress actually start Legislating. I still can't believe Congress is still not legislating RvW federally considering how often so many menbers of Congress have brought it up. The Court literally told them what to do, and they turned it into a wedge issue instead of a law like they are supposed to.

Silly goose. Didn't you hear Biden say he would reinstate Roe V Wade if reelected? We just need you to send a few donations before the election to make sure that happens. Just like illegal immigration. Why the fuck would they fix it when they can just campaign on fixing it instead?

Fortunately, all these decisions substantially weaken SCOTUS. This overturn and even RvW explicitly only happened because they decided the Supreme Court is not allowed to write laws and can't make them. They overturned rulings the court had made that wound up creating laws - some that put people in federal prisons - through judicial oversteps that had never been passed by congress. So what they are doing is making themselves a Court instead of a Legislature with no check or balance.

It's on Congress to pass these things as actual laws. I am stoked at the possibility that Congress has to start showing up for work.

I'm half expecting them to reinstate the 10th Amendment next but I don't see anything applicable on the docket.
