Court decisions that can't be enforced are merely speed bumps on the way to autocracy.

The upcoming Supreme Court decision over "birthright citizenship" is much more about neutering the lower courts. This SC decision will decide if lower courts can make rulings that effect the entire country, or if they are limited to only decisions in the their circuits which would basically neuter the lower courts and throw everything to the Supreme Court.
