I'm sure it'll be selectively enforced. Texas setting their own immigration policy will still be allowed, but they'll come down hard on California for negotiating its own trade.

With so much of the administration just ignoring judges, I wonder at what point does California just say, "yeah, we don't care what SCOTUS has to say."

Hopefully immediately following any adverse ruling. SCOTUS is corrupt (we have the receipts!) and shouldn’t be followed. I’m hoping we can pass some type of law that nullifies their decisions from x period to x period. Especially ones that clearly depart from stare decisis

they'll come down hard

What are they going to do at this point? Nobody's enforcing anything.

They're not enforcing anything because, to this point, the breaking of established rule and law has been a one way street. Only one side has been egregiously breaking the rules, and the ones in charge of enforcement are on that side. But you will see them (at least attempt) to crack down on the other side doing the same exact thing. Make no mistake, this isn't just an anarchic free-for-all, this is a fascist coup.
