I heard Sowell today on the radio refer to the ultimate nuclear option as being the President and Congress simply refusing to enforce some of the loony decisions of the SCOTUS.

I don't know how nuclear such a move should be considered. President Jackson apparently didn't feel he must bow down to the Courts, and Alexander Hamilton reassured those who feared judicial review, while he himself was arguing for it, that there is nothing to fear since the Courts have no power to enforce their decisions. I interpret that as an invitation to disregard the ludicrous decisions of the Court.

Mark Levin has been saying that there is nothing in the Constitution which requires states to OBEY the USSC - that the states can just refuse.

The USSC is just to INTERPRET the law - not WRITE IT!
