The irony here is (3) is by far the closest to actually occurring as in practice, it doesn't require amending the constitution

Of course, the SC could easily declare it unconstitutional....interpret any amendments as they see fit anyway. The decision on the 14th very nearly went the other way.

Really? How do you know?

Because I read how each justice voted and several justices are advanced in age.
Counting votes is a rudimentary way to come to the conclusion that it "very nearly went the other way". SCOTUS is much more complex than that, as anyone who follows it knows.
