I wonder what would happen if Trump ignored the ruling.

That is why we have a Supreme Court.

Someone - oh, I don’t know, maybe an Attorney General with balls, needs to do something to stop activist leftist judges from deciding to run the country on their own.

It’s nice to say “Trump should just ignore the ruling,” but based on past experience they NEVER do that (probably because they think our corrupt Congress will impeach him if he does).

But something needs to be done. This happens too regularly.

The judiciary must rely on the DOJ to enforce their rulings.

I’m sure Sessions will get right to it, as soon as he fines all the dope smokers..................

President Jackson said, “Justice Marshal has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.”

This getting to where any third rate judge can issue nationwide decrees that cost huge amounts of government waste, not to mention the absolute havoc in the private sector.

Me, too. But, he'll probably file an emergency appeal with a higher court staying the order. It will eventually be reversed.

At some point, the power of any district judge to completely impede policy is going to have to be faced directly, either in Congress or in the Supreme Court. I believe Clarence Thomas pointed out what a problem this is with a comment in an opinion he wrote. It's obviously a flaw in our system, at least as its been interpreted over the past century or so.

“I wonder what would happen if Trump ignored the ruling.”

Paul Ryan would initiate impeachment proceedings.

In all seriousness, pretend for a moment that you're a state "water regulator in, say, Bozeman, MT.

Are you going to follow the directives issued by the president, or some numbskull judge in South Carolina?

I think it's a valid question and scenario.

Nothing. That insane judge has no army. Trump does.
