[quote=Anonymous]The interesting part of this to me is that SCOTUS relies on moral authority to maintain its legitimacy as an institution. We do what they say because they are wise and they tell us to.  But, they don’t have a lot in the way of enforcement.  Some blue states have stocked up on up to 5 years worth of pills.  If SCOTUS halts the use of abortion pills and blue state medical boards tell physicians they will not investigate physicians who prescribe, then what?  What if aid organizations ignore and start shipping across state lines? How exactly is that enforced. They can make an example of a handful of people, maybe.  If the DOJ gets involved.

It’s like Bush v. Gore. They can rule.  But if Gore hadn’t agreed to concede and Floridas delegation to the House was blue, then what. Look at how hard enforcing desegregation was. It took decades.

People in power agree to do what SCOTUS says because it’s important to our democracy. But if enough people decide SCOTUS isn’t legitimate, blue states keep prescribing abortion pills and…. What?

If your power lies in your being perceived as legitimate, the fact only 25% of independence say they have confidence in your rulings begs the question.  Why not just ignore them? [/quote]
