Not that this is what's happening, but noodling over whether it would be good/bad/otherwise if an executive said, "This law is unconstitutional and I'm not enforcing it."
On the other hand, the way the statute of limitations runs, it offers those it affects no favor - they'd still have to abide it.

I'm against the ban, also think the Court got it wrong, also think that it's a law passed by Congress and signed by the president and should not (indeed, cannot) be reversed outright by the Executive. A bad day for the rule of law.

On the other hand, there the possibility that the mess could cause some rethinking even by SCOTUS?
Trump + GOP Congress pass a bill within the next four years that makes abortion illegal throughout the United States.
A Democrat wins the presidency in 2028, but Congress stays Republican, so unable to repeal law.
Should the Democratic president have to enforce the abortion ban?
