No, because as i understand it, you can change the meaning of words without directly challenging the constitution, and get what ever result you want. Like changing the definition of enemy combatant to mean any immigrant. Now retroactively you can pick or choose who is a REAL citizen.

Oh and also, at least one of the liberal justices is in real danger of dying in the next 4 years (assuming it's only that).

And the people are divided by identitarianism. The oligarchs roam free.

They haven’t so far. Why would they start?

They ruled that one time that states can't unilaterally overrule the will of the people. That was nice. But that's how low the bar is, people weren't sure if they would completely override democracy (yet).

Only did that because they're terrified Newsom would start forcing leftie bullshit on Californians or whatever, needed to cover their asses until they got more xontrol
