His attempt to send in the California National Guard forced the judge to expand her ruling.

It isn't Congress's business to enforce court orders.

Hard to tell what SCOTUS would do.

Until he asks for an emergency intervention, they decide whether to hear it, they decide the case, it's too son to speculate.

As for the troops, the court rulings remove any presumption that the orders to any state's National Guard to report to Portland are lawful - and shifts a lot of risk to individual troops, who are duty bound to refuse to follow unlawful orders.
