    Isn’t the judicial branch supposed to be more powerful than the executive? The POTUS shouldn’t be able to blatantly ignore the SCOTUS, right?

    If course, this being Trump, I fully expect them to let the “Democracy!” mask slip whenever he wishes…

      Well, I think the issue is that the Supreme Court likely can’t order the cops to do anything because unlike within a county, there’s no equivalent of a national sheriff. So the executive branch still has the power and discretion of enforcement.
