Hypothetical just to demonstrate the point there's such a line somewhere: five justices decree Methodism is now the official state church and direct district judges to enforce that ruling with injunctions shutting down all other houses of worship. That's not law and compliance is not being a court.

Right. I guess my question is what exactly you think the Court got wrong about the law. (I have my own Take, needless to say, but I'm curious to hear your perspective)

Forgot the legal term for a court going beyond its authority. Like if SCOTUS directed the president to attack China. We need to be talking more about what courts can and can’t do.
