    Reminder that the president can just... ignore the Supreme Court. It's been done before.

    Of course Biden won't.

      Nooooo! Then he'd be just like Andrew Jackson!! Totally the same thing!

      That said, is this really true? There was a whole Civil War between then and now.

        Judicial review has no support in the text of the constitution, and the judiciary has no enforcement arm (because that's the executive branch's job).

        The president could tell the supreme court to eat shit and die and there's nothing they could do about it.
