If the legislators feel they cannot, in good conscience, follow the court order, they should resign.

Since when does the court get to dictate what laws the legislature should pass? This court order is invalid on the face of it and should be completely ignored.

Wrong. The legislature makes the laws.
If the judges can't, in good conscience, follow state laws, they should resign.

Well, it only took 218 posts, but at last we're down to it.

The laws are made by the People, acting through their Representatives. That's what the Federal constitution means when it authorizes the Federal government to guarantee each state a republican form of governemnt (Art. IV, s. 4).

Under no circumstances can a court order the People to pass a law. Such an order is an absurdity.

What "order" are you talking about?
