But this wouldn’t cause a constitutional crisis or anything by default: the president almost always follows court orders or court opinions.
There’s some complexity because historically the Supreme Court also tends to show restraint by not making rulings that it doesn’t expect people to follow.
I think in general when discussing these “Constitutional crisis” topics it helps to
Not think too much in terms of formalities but only in terms of norms
Look back in history for what it precedented or unprecedented, partly because this will also decouple the discussion from debates about current political questions/actors
