That’s right. The Supreme Court’s legitimacy comes from our collective acceptance of their legitimacy. It’s a bit circular, but they stop being legitimate once we stop seeing them as legitimate. They have no enforcement mechanism.
I guess it would take multiple blue states blatantly disregarding their rulings to effectively send that message.
Right? And after all of Johnny boy’s grandstanding about impartiality and improving the image of the court and such. I wish someone would put each of these instances to Roberts like “ok so like how much shit are you full of? Are you unwilling or unable to get your boys in line? Because they’re making you look stupid bro”

The problem is that the cops and people with guns will happily enforce these rulings while we peasants can screw off.
