Patriot Act and Civil Rights

[Taimishu]

if the court declares it unconstitutional (there have already been several suits filed regarding this), then the act is null.

And so the court says NO and the AG says tough I dont recognise your authority.
I rest my case

That's what happened here on a state level. The supreme court made a ruling and the governor said "I don't recognise it". The problem with the governor or AG doing that is that the people can then break that law, and not be prosecuted in a court which doesn't recognise that law or the executive's branch to enforce that law. Example: If the courts say CCWs are legal and the execs don't recognise it, I can still and would still carry (but very carefully) because if they arrest me and I go to court, the judge will throw it out without a trial.

If I am not mistaken, aren't the federal marshals an enforcement group under the judicial system. They would be the arm to enforce the judges' decision.
