Also, SCOTUS should be keenly aware of what happened when it ruled against Andrew Jackson - he made that famous quip, "[The chief justice] has made his ruling, now let him enforce it." And the President proceeded to ignore the decision of the Supreme Court with no consequences, because there wasn't support in Congress to impeach him.

SCOTUS has been building its power in the nearly 200 years since that episode by being careful never to make orders it didn't think would be followed.
