RE :”Any state can easily tell the Supreme Court to take a hike. If they nullify a Federal law the Supremes can't do anything about it. They have no enforcement authority”

Your point was that if Brewer had defied the SCOTUS decision on AZ immigration law it would be up to justice to enforce it somehow? assuming the court make up penalties for defying it like fines?

Example : They could fine them but have no way to enforce it except send in FBI ?

It certainly sounds like it would be the show of a lifetime.

There is one simple way which AZ could defy the FedGov -- declare a state of invasion and militarily (i.e. shoot to kill) shut down border crossings. Further, demand the FedGov assist (Art 4, Sec 4, US Constitution).
