It seems worth mentioning that the TSA page mentions that those people without ID need to cooperate and help TSA find their ID or otherwise find out that they are who they say they are. So you can't just say "I lost my ID," not help them find out who you are, and get on the plane anyways.

Well, if they enforce it.

Do you have a more official reference to the "court says you aren't required to have an ID to fly domestically" bit? The blog is not helping.

and the relevant judgement:

While Gilmore lost the appeal to the secondary search, the court still recognized the right to dispute the id check.
