MODERATORS
They already are. What did Illinois following rulings by an illegitimate court do to change that?
The discussion was about how states could just ignore SCOTUS. It had moved on from the topic in the article.
As far as I understand, your argument was if Illinois ignores a SCOTUS ruling that allows southern states to also ignore SCOTUS rulings, which they are already doing. What is your argument if I've misunderstood, and what is your proposal in regards to how states should deal with a ruling that is contrary to what the law should be?
This is the comment I was responding to:
And if that is the case, any Southern state can ignore Plessy v. Ferguson.
But it is clearly not the case.
Alabama is currently ignoring the Supreme Court's directive to redraw their congressional map.
Yes, I know. I already brought that up. And, again, if Alabama is legally able to do that, they are also legally able to ignore Plessy. It's one or the other.
What are the consequences for Alabama doing that?
We'll have to wait and see apparently. Does that change what I said somehow?
Considering Illinois would not be setting a precedent here, yes.
You have yet to explain why Southern states couldn't just ignore Plessy if SCOTUS rulings are just suggestions.
(Remember? The thing I was replying to?)
