SCOTUS was never legitimate; they gave themselves the power of judicial review in Marbury v. Madison.
The executive branch can declare that the court is illegitimate at any time, since it is up to the executive branch to enforce the law.
If the supreme court can't subject laws to constitutional scrutiny, and there is no longer separation of powers, I think that's basically the end of the US Republic.
Yep! Welcome to the show, try the fish before it's gone and don't think too hard about what comes next, we'll be in it soon enough anyway.
Hit 'em with the ol' "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!"
