I think you’re right that was the triggering thread and I agree w your diagnosis of that thread and about the poisoned apples. And about me swatting that apple with a bat and splashing poisoned sauce all over the thread.

But let’s look at the OP:

> [@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/1019485/1):
>
> …  
> But what happens if the Judicial Branch issues an order but the president refuses to follow it? What recourse, if any, do the courts have to enforce their orders?

Those are two clearly articulated questions. To which the only practical answers are “anything” and “next to nothing”.
