Well, that's Cooper v. Aaron. A state nor its courts can refuse to follow federal law as ruled upon by the S. Ct.

Leaving that issue aside though have there been a lot of instances when the President has had to get involved and enforce a decision in the way that happened with Brown?

The civil war?
Didn't they do the same in Mississippi with the college/law school equivalent?
