The republicans dont throw their hands up and go “well the SCOTUS/Parliamentarian/Manchin>might say no, so we cant do <x>”, they do it anyway. When Greg Abott wanted to drown children in the Rio, did the fear the SCOTUS might request he stop after the 50th child prevent him from drowning dozens of children?
When the parliamentarian told W’s cronies “no you cant just do infinite reconciliation bills to stop the dems from filibustering”, they just fired him, like they are talking about with the current one.
The instances I am talking about, the republicans SCOTUS and parliamentarian and individuals breaking from the party were overcome, by doing the damage before the SCOTUS can stop you, or just ignoring the SCOTUS, firing the parliamentarian and department heads who play ball, etc. We know the minority party isnt powerless because we just saw the republicans get their way fir 4 years. We know that the executive doesnt need congress and can just ignore the SCOTUS because thats what we saw under Trump pt I and what we’re seeing now.
The answer is SCOTUS is compromised. They will favour GOP every time.

Why would they? They’ve got Supreme court in their pocket since last 4 years.
Honestly, what do you want Democrats to do? They have no power. Not even popular vote which Hillary had.
