In this case, I don’t think SCOTUS would be able to do much. They tied their own hands on the “official presidential act” thing. It would have to be up to congress.
They conveniently forgot to define what constitutes an “official act”, meaning they can re-interpret the meaning of that on the fly in order to reward their friends and punish opponents.
Scotus is completely anathema to giving power away to other branches. No, if there is a question on what constitutes an official act it gets remanded to the lower courts.

They said congress had to decide that.

That’s not going to make this any easier or more difficult. Conservative officials all walk in lockstep.
