While the current supreme court have made some genuinely insane rulings, they’ve generally at least made the pretence of trying to square everything they’re doing with the constitution, albeit often in very strained or roundabout ways. I’m not sure if they’ll be able to find a way to justify this (but I’m not ruling it out either).
Yeah my only hope with some of this shit is that Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett actually have convictions and principles that they stand by (as horrible as those may be) and aren’t willing to completely destroy the Republic in exchange for expensive vacations with a billionaire.
A 6-3 Supreme Court majority says it isn’t.

Clarence Thomas is coming for your arms
Can we keep our hands at least?

Not holding my breath though.
