...the Executive should simply ignore their rantings. No, there are remedies specified in the Constitution (judges can be impeached).
To suggest that this or any President can and should simply disregard the Constution is dangerous, and renders it a meaningless document. A dangerous, dangerous precedent.

When the judiciary intrudes upon the responsibilites of the executive, it can and should, and has, been ignored. In the COnstitution, the Executive, the Judiciary and the Legislative branches of government are equal and the judiciary is not superior to the other branches.
Andrew Jackson ignored a Supreme Court ruling, and I am sure there are other precedents. Impeachment, as so recently demonstrated, is a practiccally impossible exercize, given the radical dynamics between right and left in this country.
