"The parties to a case cannot ignore a direct judicial order. But it does not mean that those who are not parties to case are bound by a judicial order. And that's what Justice Scalia was saying in his dissent"

Does anyone have a page reference where Scalia said that in the 8 and 1/2 pages of his dissenting comments?

Thanks - I read through it again and didn’t see it either, in any of the dissents. What came through in all of the dissents however was that Liberty has been diminished in America due to this ruling. Quite the opposite of what the headlines claim.

Last paragraph. What Scalia said was that the SC has no means by which to enforce its judgments, it depends on the Executive and State governments to do that. And, if the SC were to continue to act extra- constitutionally, states might simply refuse to obey its judgment.
