lol ERM's OP tweet is 2 yrs. old. Gee, I wonder what of significance happened between Jan. 17th, 2020, & Jan. 13th, 2022?
Not to defend ERM's usual dooming, but the significant thing that happened between those dates made things much worse...

Biden mooting "[t]he fight to exclude noncitizens & children from redistricting" before "Republicans" could even hope to "overturn Reynolds v. Sims" & thereby "enable extreme malapportionment" made things worse than malapportionment?
A significant rightward shift in the Court's ideological makeup is more important than DOJ's current litigating position.

If SCOTUS goes completely crazy, will anyone eventually do something about it?

If Democrats eventually do get to ride a backlash into power (or are able to survive until the Republican Party drops the ball some other way), they can always either 1) devolve certain things to the Circuit Courts or 2) ignore their rulings.

Democrats will inevitably return to power. Thing is that simply ignoring rulings once they get there sets a very poor precedent that will come back to bite everyone.
and we wouldn't want a supreme court that ignores its own precedent, right?
