I was just responding to your statement that SCOTUS could "just have someone make something up."

There are certainly conservative organizations that look for cases they can bring to contest some law or previous court ruling they don't like (and liberal ones that do the same thing). I just don't think the Court engineers those things themselves, as your comment implied. I do think they often pick and choose cases like this one to rule on, but that's not quite the same thing.

Getting someone to make up a bespoke case would be a risky maneuver, and they don't need to take a risk like that. They know the cases are going to come to them. All they have to do is wait.
