Yes and no. They don't behave in the same way, courts and Congress.
But whether you can GET that 'progressive Congress' is greatly affected by the court, for a start - the court takeover has largely been about partisan elections since Nixon.
Unlimited money in politics, gerrymandering done far more by Republicans, all kinds of voter suppression laws by Republicans, and more are all allowed or disallowed by the courts, and the far-right judges allow all of that.
You might not be aware of things such as a doctrine the Federalist Society is planning to spring on the country, which has the Supreme Court saying Congress is not allowed to delegate decision making to federal agencies.
So, for example, when Congress sets a broad rule for the FDA or EPA and has them make thousands of specific findings that have the rule of law, this doctrine would strike that law down and demand every one of those thousands of detailed findings must directly be passed by congress.
The whole point is to cripple the functioning of government, and deny the power to the people to actually regulate the powerful interests. How many in the public understand that?
For sure, I don't doubt that the judiciary at the edges, when populated by right wing judges, hampers and erodes the progressive agenda.
However, the greatest and most direct threat to it at present, and likely for the foreseeable future, most certainly is the Congress and Senate.
While I agree that the SCOTUS truly dropped a very substantial hammer whose impact echos through time in terms of campaign finance per Buckley v Valeo in 76, the festering root of so much that is wrong with this country, that has long been settled unfortunately. Moreover, the solution to this is predicated on a Constitutional amendment per State convention or the Congress.
