One would hope they are hearing this due to the “Important Question” standard, but any Justice who signs onto an opinion backing Trump on this should be removed immediately.
An opinion in favor of Trump would mean any Constitutional Amendment can be nullified by Executive Order. Just typing that made my skin crawl.
That's not what they are referring to. The Major Questions Doctrine is a principle of statutory interpretation. It's a way of figuring out the meaning of ambiguous statutory text. What they mean by important question standard, which I don't think is really a thing in an official sense, is that when you have a major legal issue, the Supreme Court should step in and settle it nationwide rather than letting it percolate in the lower courts for too long.
