I suppose the President orders him to enforce it. If he doesn't, he gets fired or has to resign.

If the president doesn't follow a legit court mandate, then the House would have to impeach and Senate convict. VP takes over.

This is getting a touch political and does appeal to choir fears but I don't think in today's contested political world we will see this kind of end of the world scenarios.

Brown v. Topeka was ultimately enforced by Federal troops. So you can expect a drive to the gun store in a Bradley to buy a pistol while Chicago law tries to stop you?
