Is there a significant chance SCOTUS gets abolished within our lifetimes?

[TheReckoning]

Think about it. All SCOTUS ultimately does is limit the power of the legislative branch. Is it really that inconceivable that both the national and state legislatures can build a large enough majority to go ahead and abolish it with a constitutional amendment? It’s far more likely than the Senate ever getting abolished.

1. This is a very poor understanding.
2. No, not without a revolution, anyways.

[DaleCooper]

No, of course not, but it will get seats added to it under the next Democratic trifecta unless one of the conservatives dies under Biden or early in the next Democrat's presidency.

If they do something insanely egregious and damaging like declare social security unconstitutional, they would render themselves irrelevant (much like the insane ruling of Dredd Scott made them irrelevant for the entire civil war).

[Progressive Pessimist]

If we're lucky, maybe the courts will be packed. But that's still a far-off fantasy, as with any reforms for the outdated, corrupt, unaccountable institution.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

No

Maybe they limit its power.

Apparently Congress has the power to significantly limit the scope of what the Supreme Court can rule on. Barring that, it may be possible that Congress could alternatively break up the Supreme Court into various courts each with a narrow scope in different areas. The purpose of this, of course, would be to limit the powers of these specific Supreme Court Justices.

There are probably other ways Congress could limit the power of the Supreme Court. I believe some Constitutional lawyers have argued that Congress could pass a law, not even a Constitutional Amendment, that would be the equivalent of the Canadian notwithstanding clause.

With this lawless Republican Supreme Court making rulings that adhere to the wants of the fascist/neo Feudalist Federalist Society and not the framers of the Constitution and not even really trying to hide it, I can certainly see a Democratic Congress looking at these and other measures such as packing the court.

So, De Jure abolished, no. De Facto abolished, possibly. Certainly possibly greatly limited in its scope.

[Inmate Trump]

No. It will just continue to become more and more partisan and less trusted as an institution.

And anytime there is a vacancy while opposing parties occupy the White House and the Senate, the seat will simply stay vacant until the same party holds both--no matter how long of a time that ends up being.
