In his ruling he quite clearly states that the Plaintiff was asking the court to set the Constitution aside and do something the court had no Constitutional authority to do.
A lamentable excuse. If the executive and legislative branches are both either violating or facilitating violation of the Constitution, that means the judicial branch is the only remaining defender of the people's constitutional liberties. And now this federal judge punts.

If the executive and legislative branches are both either violating or facilitating violation of the Constitution, that means the judicial branch is the only remaining defender of the people's constitutional liberties. But the judicial branch cannot possibly defend the people's constitutional liberties by itself engaging in extraconstitutional/unconstitutional actions - and make no mistake, a judicial order to remove a sitting President would clearly violate Article 2, Section 4 of the Constitution.
