So I think that sticky was prompted by a recent thread that you posted in:

> [@What happens if the Executive Branch defies a Supreme Court order?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-happens-if-the-executive-branch-defies-a-supreme-court-order/1019485/7):
>
> I suspect trump is now at the point where if he was in fact impeached by House and Senate he would simply say: “OK. Come enforce your silly writ. The executive branch will still follow my instructions on my personal say so”. And he’d probably be right in that.

The OP had a factual question and there’s (admittedly well-worn) room for discussion about constitutional rules and historical precedent. Your post was conjecture about what _might_ happen in the future.

If anybody had followed your line of thought the thread would have been hijacked _into_ calvinball territory, but it didn’t start there.

Questions like this aren’t poisoned wells, but there’s definitely a big juicy poisoned apple sitting near it. It’s up to posters to follow the rules and keep opinion and conjecture away from factual questions (at least for a while).
