Justice Gorsuch's rebuke to federal district courts

If the SCOTUS has already ruled, then a lower court’s contrary ruling ought to be legal nullity. Imagine having your “defense” to claims about defying a lower court being, “ah, but we are complying with the highest Court’s ruling.”

I wouldn’t be surprised if the defiance of lower courts to SCOTUS rulings get treated by the Trump Administration in exactly that way. Indeed, I encourage the President to do precisely that.
I could see that if it's dead to rights and I'm sure the judge would pop a gasket. That would be interesting..... especially if the dems tried to exploit it and get it back in their faces.
