Where does the Supreme Court get it's power? In practice, it's from the people - nor from constitution or constitutional experts.
There may come a point where some quarters of the public will willingly accept some governor, attorney general or president ignoring a supreme court ruling: then what will they do? As Andrew Jackson apocryphally noted, the supreme court has no enforcement arm.
