Is there even a rationale that is not anti-constitutional?

That was, and is, my view. The tally of anti-constitutional decisions from the Roberts Court is quite high. A well functioning Congress would be pushing back hard. imo, it is enough to warrant considering impeachment, rather than just court reform.
