What is the remedy for refusing an order from the Supreme Court?

Justice Roberts, I'm asking YOU.

Are you going to sit there and say "I don't know" or "I never thought this would happen"?

And I'm really not sure why you would think Roberts would have an answer other than that.

( he can 'bully pulpit' to a certain extent .. and try to impress upon Congress how grave the situation ... but, in the end, he has no physical mechanism. and virtually everyone is aware of this. )

Does this mean any decision a president doesn't like they can ignore that court decision ?

Come on dude, you have been told to go pound sand. What is it going to be, sand or compliance ?

and, yes - disappointing as it may be, a 'strongly worded letter' IS about the extent of it. Sorry that the answer is dissatisfying - but ... Doesn't really change the facts.
