Could the activist judges just ignore all the precedents and deem this illegal?

I guess if they do that, everyone is saying we will just put in the public option.

But what I'm hearing on MSNBC is that there are a bunch of precedents that would have to be overturned (including the ruling on Medicare)and NORMALLY the SC would not overturn all of that, but...with the activist judges in place...shoot, they could strike down not only this but declare the much hated (by repugs) Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid illegal too.

Is there any recourse at all to these activist judges if they do this? Or if they do something else ridiculous such as banning elections and establishing a dictatorship instead as the law of the land?

It seems to me that these activist judges are now the monarchy of America - they are dictators and we the people have no power.
