    Uhhh, no? Courts and officers of the court are bound, top to bottom. Someone that ignores orders may be held in contempt. Courts can issue writs of capias to any proper officer and writs of mandamus to lower courts.

          But they won’t. They’ll do what they want but in such a way to appear to be ‘trying’, they’ll go back to court because people will see they didn’t meet the requirement, it’ll take a year or two to get back to Supreme Court, get another ruling, wash-rinse-repeat.

          When a system can be trivially ‘gamed’ to avoid the rules, then the rules are useless.
