Why does the Supreme Court just sit on its hands while Obama breaks the law?

Why doesn’t Congress ask for a stay of any executive order in the Supreme Court?

I am puzzled that there isn’t a check and balance and everyone lets this man’s skin color shield him from having to obey the law.

The check was provided by the Framers. It was a practical check, not merely a paper one as we have today.

That check was a senate of the states, an institution with an interest distinct from that of the House.

Overnight, the 17th Amendment did away with a federal republic and gave America a democratic republic.

Scotus and Congress are institutionally incapable of standing up to a runaway executive. It isn't in their interest. Thank the 17th.
