SCOTUS only has power when its rulings are heeded, as Andrew Jackson once pointed out.

Everytime I use this argument to say that Bush could end abortion tomorrow if he wanted, I am flamed like there is no tomorrow. He has no duty to adhere to UNConstitutional rulings and could declare that life starts at conception and that unborn children have a right to life liberty ...shall I go on?

For the reason you mention, the SCOTUS ruling on executions could be ignored. WE are the government, not those black robed devilish globalists.

IMO that isn't the answer either. The Executive and the Judicial should be bound by the 10th. If they refuse to act in such a manner, IMO it is up to individual states to declare that a given SCOTUS ruling is null and void within their boundaries - which would allow a state to outlaw abortion and then tell SCOTUS to stuff it.
