I was thinking of President Lincoln’s famous response to a ruling by Judge Taney.

Courts have no independent enforcement powers. Part of the system of checks and balances.

Judges aren’t tyrants in black robes.

The system has an appeal process for a reason.

If you ignore the process that has been set up, you undermine the rule of law.

That was Andrew Jackson, whose portrait is prominently displayed by our current President. But we now have a Constitution respecting majority on the court. I say take it all the way to SCOTUS.

What courts DO do, is give cover to bureaucrats to ignore Presidential orders. Which is what will happen.

Any low-level official who disregarded the President's order will be protected by Civil Service regs from being fired. Conversely, any bureaucrat who obeys the President's order in defiance of the judge risks being personally sued, and risks being fired at some point in the future when a new administration takes office.

Back in Jackson's time, he had the power to fire, on the spot, anyone who refused to carry out his order. Trump does not currently have that power.
