@oldguy52 SCOTUS doesn't rule on science, though. It has neither the expertise nor the authority to such rulings.

That kind of decision gets made in Congress, and SCOTUS merely reinforced the laws that Congress has made, decisions that themselves should be scientific.

Whether the president's authority to regulate huge swaths of the area of the country should or should not be expanded is up to Congress. SCOTUS would be acting outside of those very scientific processes should it impose its own will on the law.
