I assume this will get appealed to the US Supreme Court. If they rule against the Alabama judge, what is the USSC going to do to enforce their decision? They don't have an army....

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that SCOTUS will not here the case. The ramifications are too high. If they hear it and agree with the lower court, then they obviously look stupid and hypocritical. If they hear it and overturn the decision, that would set the stage for all sorts of new legal challenges.

Sure they do. It's called the Justice Department, under the direct control of John Ashcroft, who reports to the President. Let's hope the Justice Department puts it under a very low priority.
