A court will only have power as long as more than 50% of the population is willing to listen and obey it's rulings, amirite?

not true as long as the population doesn't meet their decision with violence

@Leic0408 not true as long as the population doesn't meet their decision with violence

And even then, I"d say; as long as people can't defy it (see North Korea…)

"The court has made their decision, now let them enforce it."

Courts make rulings but don't enforce them. You need a police or military body willing to carry out the judgment or it's meaningless.

Not true; courts have made unpopular rulings before

They have power as long as they can enforce their rulings - which could be a lot less than 50%

a court has power as long as the military, often less than 1% of the population, agrees with them

Nope, that's why they have police
