Your list assumes that people continue to follow the law as practiced. I was assuming something different. I was assuming the state does something willfully illegal, and ignores a court order and then the subsequent court orders whereby the court shrilly seeks to enforce its will.
If the authorities of the state do not obey the court, and the President declines to exercise federal power to force the state to obey the court, the court has no enforcement mechanism whereby it can enforce its orders. It can write as many writs of mandamus or vacate whatever it likes. If the authorities ignore the court, the court is toothless. That's what I was talking about. I was suggesting breaking the traditional rule of law.
You proposed that Congress could simply remove the jurisdiction over abortion from the Supreme Court. Won't work. The Supreme Court, especially in this day and age, will strike down any effort by Congress to directly eliminate constitutional review. The tradition has grown up in the US Common Law that the Supreme Court is a co-equal branch of government, and the final say in what the Constitution means. Under the current regime, Congress won't get away with passing a law that tells the Supreme Court it doesn't have the power to rule an unconstitutional law unconstitutional. The Supreme Court will strike down any such law as unconstitutional.
Of course, Congress COULD pass such a law, and when the Supreme Court strikes it down, the President could direct the Justice Department to obey Congress and disregard the Supreme Court's "illegal decision". That is functionally the same thing that I was discussing in the case of the state.
There is no clear cut authority as to who overrides whom. There is just a tradition of how this is done. Strongly defying the tradition is called "Illegal", but it might establish a new tradition.
I see where you're going and it's an interesting idea.. but don't you think the Supreme Court would hold the local officials in contempt? I don't think there's any way the Justice Dept would buck the Court. Never going to happen...we should focus on some workable ideas IMO.
There's already a Supreme Court decision that it's not limited.
That would pretty well take abortion out of the hands of the courts.
