If a president refuses to follow a Supreme Court decision, I think we have to rely on Congress to act.

In 1956, the Supreme Court declared segregated busing unconstitutional. Montgomery was integrated by court order as a result, but Eisenhower ignored the ruling and allowed segregation to continue in other places. This continued until Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
