2 The lust for power overrides the thought, if she doesn't have to pay attention to SCOTUS' ruling why should any of us have to pay attention to her rulings?

3 Excellent point P2K. If SCOTUS doesn't deal with this black robed tyrant, they will regret it.

Any bets if the Liberal Islamic Democrat Socialist Party takes POTUS office again, that she'll be on the list for a SCOTUS seat?

5 So how much actual power the SCOTUS have over lower-tier Federal Courts? Not sure they have any real hammer to use. Doesn't the Constitution put that in Congress's hands?

6 Everything below the Supreme Court exists at Congresses pleasure. The only Constitutional court is the Supreme Court, all others were created by congress and can be deleted by congress.

7 Fatal Flaw appears to revealed by this direct disobedience. Options are pretty limited given a bifurcated Congress any sympathetic other Jurists:

"AI Overview
A federal judge who openly or systematically defies a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court can face administrative penalties through the federal judiciary, or ultimate removal from office by Congress.Because Article III of the U.S. Constitution grants federal judges life tenure during "good behavior," punishing or removing them involves specific, limited channels.Appellate Reversal and Mandamuses.

Overturning the decision: The primary and immediate remedy for a lower court decision that contradicts Supreme Court precedent is reversal by a higher appellate court or the Supreme Court itself.Writ of Mandamus: A superior court can issue a writ of mandamus—an order commanding a lower court judge to properly apply binding law or dismiss improper actions.

Judicial Conduct and Disability Proceedings Under the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act (28 U.S.C. §§ 351–364), complaints against a lower federal judge can be filed and reviewed by the circuit's judicial council.Sanctions: A judicial council can issue private or public censures or reprimands.Case Reassignment: The council can temporarily suspend the judge from receiving new case assignments or disqualify them from specific cases.Limits: The statute explicitly protects judicial independence regarding standard legal decisions; a mere disagreement over a ruling is typically handled through appeals rather than misconduct complaints. However, willful, bad-faith defiance of a superior court's explicit mandate crosses into conduct prejudicial to the administration of the courts.Congressional Impeachment and RemovalImpeachment by the House: If a judge's defiance is viewed as a corrupt abuse of power or a breach of the "good behavior" clause, the House of Representatives can vote to pass articles of impeachment.Conviction by the Senate: Following impeachment, the Senate holds a trial. A two-thirds supermajority vote is required to convict the judge and remove them from office permanently. This method is historically rare and reserved for extreme malfeasance."
