What if President Trump just told the court to f*ck off and that his administration would follow the plain meaning of the 14th and the extant statute that codifies it? Would SCOTUS send US Marshalls to arrest him?

Why? The Supreme Nine have never ruled (dicta doesn't count) that the birthright citizenship reading of the Citizenship Clause is correct.

I’m assuming there would have been a case by that time. If Congress passed a law, or Trump an executive order interepreting the extant statute, the immigration groups would file suit immediately and it would probably go the heavily-Communist SCOTUS in under two years.
