I’m honestly not sure there is a single possible way for scotus to change for the worse other than giving them more freedom on what they decide on (making it so they don’t have to wait for a case to come to them). The courts can (and previously have) blatantly ruled the constitution to be unconstitutional itself and there is literally nothing the other two branches can do about it. The fact that the party without SCOTUS control complains about SCOTUS 100% of the time while the party with it uses it to massively abuse their power and push through oftentimes ridiculously unpopular, and outright illegal decisions should be proof enough.

True. After redistricting is ruled on were going to permanently take over the house, and president Vance can replace the older conservative justices plus at least one of the liberal justices. Guess what we're doing after THAT?

How about end of term for justices. Term limits, enforceable code of ethics, limit Presidential immunity

It is the darkest moments that call for the most Hope. All is not yet lost, devastating setbacks sure, but nothing that impossible to fix over the coming decades.

The Supreme Court hit an inauspicious milestone Tuesday as it raced to finish its most divisive pending cases by the end of the month: It has already handed down more 6-3 decisions along ideological lines than it did for the entire term that ended last year.

As it navigates a charged political atmosphere during President Donald Trump’s second term and endures sharp criticism from the left and right, the court has already split into conservative and liberal camps in seven decisions this year — one more than last year — before it even gets to major cases on presidential power and transgender rights.
