6. Not sure why you think they'd rule on principle and precedent

This corrupt, craven majority isn’t just enabling Trump’s executive power, they are enabling all executive power, for all presidents and their minions.

Their ideology views the executive branch as superior to the legislative branch, and their rulings serve to unshackle that executive power, specifically Article II powers, knowing full well that congress is hamstrung by the 2/3 requirement for removal.

We shall see how their upcoming ruling unfold - tariffs, Trump’s appeal of his fraud convictions, and his appeal of the E. Jean Carroll damages award. The last two would be good cases to measure their loyalty to Trump the man vs their ideology.
