Why don't we just ignore the Supreme Court?

Why don't we just ignore the Supreme Court?
Maureen Dowd's op ed in the NY Times closes with the above question. After all, we have a Court that appointed George W. president in 2000; gutted the Voting Rights Act, and is licking it's chops over the upcoming Roe V Wade case. The wingnuts that dominate the Court, (and have for decades), don't give a rat's ass about the law, the Constitution, or the well being of the vast majority of the American people

The answer to her question is that we (Democrats) obey Supreme Court decisions out of tradition. But what if they make a decision that Republicans hate. Would they obey it? After all, the SCOTUS has no enforcement powers.

Hey DUmbass, a decision Republicans hate? You mean like Obamacare being declared constitutional. Maybe something like that

Of course, DUmbass continues:

6. Well, for the most part, the TFG and the Republicans

spent four years ignoring many of the laws of the land. And what's been done about it? To date, not much.

If that's the case then where's all the arrests and convictions. Surely there should have been some by now. Oh wait, your mental masturbation doesn't count. 

And the cherry on top:

13. Name a President who did it in the last 200 years

Besides Andrew Jackson, Lincoln maybe? That's it.

You mean other than Bi-dumb reinstating the eviction moratorium after Kavanaugh told him he didn't have the authority to do so.

Without the USSC, then Abortion once again is left completely up to the states. Gay marriage is gone as far as being legal in all states.

Let's do this.

Hey, district attorneys ignore the laws and just let accused violent felons walk free without bail already, so this could probably be in the hopper of plans.

      Dummies are absolutely free to ignore the Supreme Court in the sanctity of the various trailers and hovels where they tend to dwell. Normal people, who live in the normal world, would find themselves in assorted legal jams at the best and on the wrong side of a shotgun at the worst.

The Cryano primitive is just being ridiculous, and he knows it; he's not that stupid.

This after all was the guy who during the 1980s and 1990s was generally thought to be the next whiz kid, the next magician, on Wall Street, where he worked as a runner on the floor.

But then one day while on the Staten Island ferry riding home, he had a cerebral aneurysm or something, and walked away from that lucrative job, along with the fast cars, the overbosomed chicks, the drugs.

He's since been employed as a wheelchair-pusher in a nursing home down in Florida.
