in order for the Supreme Court to weigh in, they'd have to have a justiciable case. They don't provide advisory opinions. I think there hasn't been a justiciable case because no one wants to be viewed as hampering the protection of America or handcuffing the American military.

If a case makes into to the SC, then you might see a curbing of this now seemingly robust power to engage in war like operations without congressional approval. We'll see.
