what prevents a President from ignoring any SC court ruling they do not like.

Good one - I at least hadn't thought of that.

If Trump's motion succeeds AND he wins the presidency, the Supreme Court are his slaves.
They must then issue whatever rubberstamps he wants, or they are goners. Trump will have no end of
lawyers ready to step into their shoes.

I have been suspecting the current SC is planning on ruling the country from the bench, so they be surprised.
One hopes they think this all through.

They have. They'll run this like Bush v Gore -- a ruling for "just this one case." So it wouldn't apply to Biden. ancianita Mar 2024 #6
