Because judges hold people in contempt of court, which can include fines or jail time. Even if POTUS is exempt from such penalties, other’s in the executive branch may not be, and don’t want to find out later they can be punished. The best option is for Congress to act to limit the jurisdiction of these courts, or require three judge panels to hear such cases to avoid the forum shopping for leftist Rat judges.

Looks to me like judges avoid undermining another judge. That keeps all judges in high esteem. Judges protect power they love to have. If judges start disparaging or disagreeing with each other, they will lose respect and power. This explains why Chief Justice supported the district judge.

Because people who understand nothing about the legal system cannot just fantasize childish solutions to a Constitutional system.

Without wasting too much time on this nonsense, Trump does not control the “Trump judges” or any judges.

No one can coordinate the selection of judges so Trump cannot “pick” a pro Trump judge every time another judge rules against him.

And district court decisions get appealed to the circuit courts and the Supreme Court, so no one can control how long either side’s decision can last.

Plus there is no system by which Trump can simply order up an opposite decision, and then decide which one to follow. It doesn’t work that way.

Remember there are no “Trump" Federal judges because they are really "McConnell" Federal judges.

Since when does ANY part of the Judicial branch, including the Supreme Court, have the authority to tell the Executive branch what to do or how to do it? Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution plainly says it does not. We are GUARANTEED a “Republican” form of government. This means that we get to elect people to represent our intentions and if we don’t like what they do, we can replace them at the next election. Judges, with lifetime appointments cannot meet this standard and in no way, shape, or form be allowed to control our intentions. The Judicial branch gets a voice. That’s all it gets. Without enforcement capability, it’s just an opinion. Without respect for that opinion, it’s nothing at all. Their current path is destroying that respect.
