“John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!”
-Probably not Andrew Jackson

The governor and the state could just ignore the courts. There really is no mechanism to force a state to follow a court ruling. A federal court ruling entirely in Disney’s favor doesn’t force the legislature to change state laws. It wouldn’t make the laws go away. The laws would still exist but be unenforceable, and enforcement is something handled entirely by the state. Following court orders is very much something done voluntarily out of respect for the rule of law. It is something that a state could ignore and it would very much create a constitutional crisis.

This isn’t entirely true. I believe the federal government has withheld funding on some occasions. All politics is, in the end, local. Legislators who depend on federal funding for programs that benefit their constituents aren’t going to remain in office if that funding dries up.

But you are basically correct in saying our system depends on respect for the law. The state of Florida is not going to precipitate a constitutional crisis over its governor’s fight with Disney.

this is why we don't get into politics online...

Want to annoy them? Show up to the board meeting proudly wearing your Mickey Ears!

They'd probably use their absurd new rules to claim that anyone wearing Disney merch is a "Disney lobbyist" and try to have them removed.

It's easier to wear DeSantis gear and then they will be totally confused, but they'll probably actually let you speak.

If you really want to confuse them, wear rainbow-colored DeSantis gear.

For a supermarket Publix has a pretty decent selection of beers, but outside of that (and maybe the chicken tenders) not much to talk about and the beer selection ain’t that good to get me to drive 900 miles

Exactly how good are those chicken tenders?

What appears to be the northern most Publix is at 1640 Publix Wy, Stafford, VA 22554. A mere 3 hours from Philadelphia.

 

[Gringrinngghost]

While those Pub Subs are outstanding

Their very meh.

Passible from me chief.

The federal government could, if they wanted to, enforce the court's order in a number of ways. The court itself has no power to enforce the ruling, but the executive branch does have the power to enforce a federal court ruling if they were so inclined. Happened quite a bit during the civil rights era.

Judges could also hold specific individuals in contempt and arrest or fine them.

McCulloch v. Maryland says otherwise.

US Marshal?

Appealed, and suddenly an Amicus Brief appears from Pressed and chopped Chicken Tender sub

US Marshal?

You can use federal agents to enforce it, you can also do fines, to ultimately holding someone in jail for contempt.

I have a Amicus here in support of Jimmy Johns and Jersey Mikes.

That’s true. The Jackson-Marshall situation involved two co-equal branches of the federal government. The executive branch enforces the rulings of the judiciary.

Here, the fight would be between a state and the federal government, which does have an enforcement mechanism.
