I think that we will now see the end of the old order and the beginning of the new. The lack of responsibility, accountability and authority over the Courts in this country is come to an end. The days of any one judge revoking the power of the Federal Government are now over. It took us awhile to get here but it was obvious a long time ago that the day would come.
The real issue now is not one for the Courts to decide. It is time now for the limits on each branch of government to be measured against the whole cloth of the Constitution and laid definitively to rest. There will be no more lower court injunctions on the powers of either the Legislative Branch or the Executive Branch and those that wish to challenge them will need to do so through appeals up through the court system until they can be decided by the Supreme Court. In short, no more stop work orders from the dumbest and most venal members of the Bar and that is setting a very low bar these days.

History may say that it was activist judges who were the key to the down fall of a constitutional republic. Because instead of ruling according to the Constitution they issued rulings to support their personal beliefs and agendas.
And because of that both the Executive and Legislative branches simply ignored those rulings and did whatever they wanted ala Jackson and his "Marshall has issued his opinion, now let him enforce it" precedent.
This has laid the foundation for the future failure of our government system. Might will now make right and politicians will seek power so they can do what ever they want regardless of law or precedent.

Goodness where in history has this NOT been the real rules?
Agreed that the US is set up as equal branches of government and a lawfully elected President should not he held in check by a lower level appeals judge but only the equal branch of the Supreme Court.
