What happens if a president defies a Supreme Court ruling? In this powerful segment from Episode 47: The Shadow Docket, Georgetown Law Professor and constitutional scholar Stephen Vladeck breaks down the chilling implications of such a scenario—and why the federal courts remain a critical bulwark even in turbulent times.
🧠 Vladeck explains:
-
Why ignoring court rulings could unravel the entire legal system
-
How subtle defiance can be more dangerous than overt rebellion
-
Why lawyers—and voters—must defend due process as a red line
-
And how recent examples (like the Alien Enemies Act deportation case) are testing the system now
⚖️ “Even if the courts can't act directly against Trump, they can act against everybody else. The rule of law only holds if we all agree it matters.”
