I don't disagree that disregarding the Supreme Court is essentially a type of coup. However, the power which is being contested here is a power that the Supreme Court invented for itself out of whole cloth: judicial review was born in 1803 when Chief Justice John Marshall ruled that an act of congress was unconstitutional. That's honestly a bigger coup than what is being suggested here, and is only perceived as legitimate because a) it's been around for a long time, and b) the Supreme Court has mostly backed down from its most unpopular opinions.
