Supreme Courts policy-making process

The Framers envisioned the Courts tremendous policy-making power. Yet, if the President or members of Congress oppose a particular Supreme Court ruling, they can underfund programs needed to implement a decision or seek only lax, not strict or severe, enforcement.

Judicial implementation is how and whether judicial decisions are translated into actual public policies affecting more than the immediate parties to a lawsuit.
   How well a decision is implemented depends on how well crafted or popular it is. In Brown v. Board of Education and the absence of precise guidelines to implement the decision meant that the ruling went largely unenforced for years.
