What can the US Supreme Court do if the President enforces a law?

Nothing. Creating and vetoing laws is part of the legislative process, which is the responsibility of Congress and the President, respectively. The Constitution does not grant the Supreme Court any power to make law or to override a veto.If a law is successfully passed, then challenged in court, the Supreme Court can determine whether the law is constitutional under their right of "judicial review," and can nullify the law if they determine it to be unconstitutional, but that is the extent of the Court's formal involvement in the legislative process.

How many swearing-in ceremonies did Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor have?

Two or three, depending on your perspective. The Judicial branch is alone in requiring two separate Oaths of Office before a nominee officially becomes a Justice. The first, the Constitutional Oath, was administered in private in the Justices' conference room; the second, the Judicial Oath (which is different), was administered before friends and family in the Supreme Court's East Conference Room. The second ceremony was televised. Justice Sotomayor will also have a formal investiture on September 8, 2009, at 2:00 pm EST/DST, during a special sitting of the Court.
