Why are we assuming Trump will obey court orders? Not a huge chance, but I can see a world where President Trump is (a) 6-18 months into his first term, (b) has been stymied by unanimous Democratic opposition and an uncooperative and fractured Republican legislative branch, (c) is increasingly worried about his reputation and legacy, and so decides (d) "f**k it", I'm gonna start ignoring court orders.
And once that happens it's game over for judicial supremacy, regardless of the gravity of the rulings that are ignored early on. This could easily happen if there was an Islamist terrorist attack tomorrow, btw.
