    The SCOTUS is a distraction, as they’ve got no real power to enforce their decisions.

    This is something I’ve been thinking about more and more.

    With our three branches of government, it’s up to the executive to enforce the laws, and by extension, the rulings of the judiciary.

    What’s the failsafe mechanism for when the executive doesn’t like a ruling and has no respect of law, or for the system?

    What happens after the supreme court says, “Hey President! What you’re doing is unconstitutional and you must stop immediately.”…and the president just goes, “Actually I don’t care what you say. I’m still doing it. Have a wonderful day and go fuck all nine of yourselves.”
