The president can, in reality, ignore the Supreme Court, a contention supported by several historical precedents. Abraham Lincoln notably disregarded the Dred Scott decision, refusing to accept its ruling as a binding settlement of the slavery issue. Similarly, Governor Orval Faubus directly defied the Supreme Court’s mandate in Brown v. Board of Education by resisting school desegregation in Little Rock. More recently, President Donald Trump challenged the Court’s authority by ignoring its rulings on immigration deportations. This perspective often draws upon a constitutional interpretation that the Supreme Court’s role in deciding the law’s meaning is not explicitly defined as final, coupled with the president’s constitutional duty to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed” according to his own judgment.
