We don’t have a federal executive branch enforcing law.

It will fall to the states to challenge unconstitutional diktats. Here’s one example:

26 Republican attorneys general sue to block Biden rule requiring background checks at gun shows

The illegal diktat is suspended until it’s reviewed by the judiciary. At the governor’s direction, both sheriffs and the state police can ensure that the diktat is not implemented.

There’s nothing about a “podunk” sheriff doing whatever. I find your attitude toward sheriffs troubling.

The Bright decision is going to play out in ways that nobody can predict.

“We don’t have a federal executive branch enforcing law.”

Of course we do. It’s the DOJ. The problem is that it’s under the control of the executive, which means often the president and his administrators get a free ride, or they sic it after their political enemies, like Biden is doing with Trump.
