Judges can issue orders for all that, but they have no enforcement mechanism of their own. Enforcement of orders is done through bodies like the US Marshals, which are ultimately under the executive branch. What happens if a judge issues a ruling, but the President instructs everyone under him not to enforce it?

But their districts are filled with chucklefucks. They voted for this, specifically. Any primary challenge would put in someone worse.
Didn't you get the memo? There is only one big, swinging trunk, called the Unitary Executive. The other branches are twigs.
Someone's gonna be killed by one of these J6 yoyos. Could be a SC justice after a ruling that goes against Trump, could be one of those key people from the last administration that Trump quite openly dropped security details for.
Will Trump go the extra mile and pardon them? Will his party full of Christian Conservatives ignore their God's commandment "Thou Shall Not Kill" when the victim is a political opponent who they don't like? Of course they will.
They didn't get elected to run government, they got elected to end it.
An apology? Hah. She's gonna be the first one to go.
Isn't it obvious? The counter to this is not gonna come from the US, where the Democrats have no power and Republicans are too afraid of getting primaried (or worse!) from the MAGA mob.
The new German chancellor is hinting that Europe might have to start to go it alone. Blow up NATO and make a new NATO, which doesn't rely on the US. Start funding the Ukraine opposition directly. Oh, and stop trading oil in dollars, too. If they play it right, the EU can emerge as the world's new superpower. The US is too busy eating itself to put up any counter to that.
Maybe someday some sanity will return to the US, but the rest of the world will never trust us again, knowing how unstable we are. Until we fix our system with all of its "gentleman's agreements" and "unitary executives", we will always be (at most) one election away from total chaos.

But it has a blue check! Surely that means something.... ~/s~
How long until Kid Rock or Ted Nugent take up permanent residency?
I'll believe this backlash matters when Republicans in Congress start doing the simple things to ensure that President Musk and First Lady Trump abide by the law. Until then, I will assume every Republican is 100% on board with screwing their constituents.
