Criminal Contempt of Court

And then the executive branch would have to enforce the decision prosecute them, and carry the decision out. Imagine if in the case of Romney in MA, he stands up to the MA Supremes simply by refusing to enforce their ruling. Could be interesting.

You illustrate my point. What you are speculating about would quickly deteriorate into either civil war or anarchy.

If the Governor can ignore a court ruling he dislikes, then so can I, so can everyone.
If I can ignore the judiciary, why can I not also ignore the legislature and the executive?
Coequal branches of government.
