The Supreme Court does not have its own enforcement mechanism and relies on other branches of government to enforce its decisions. In this case, the Court would likely rely on individuals or organizations affected by the law to file lawsuits and seek injunctions to prevent its implementation. The federal government, including the Justice Department, may also be called upon to intervene. However, ultimately, it is up to state and local officials to comply with Court decisions, and noncompliance can result in legal and political consequences.
