“Because Trump is sworn to uphold the Constitution, and the Constitution established three separate but equal branches of government.”

True, so why should the Executive branch, in carrying out an obvious Constitutional mandate, per heading up the military, seek permission from the Judicial branch if they are co-equal?

It shouldn't. In many cases I agree the judiciary is overstepping its constitutional role. So what's the best way to fix that? If you say ignore them, then consider what that precedent would mean for the future of the rule of law. If a president can summarily ignore any court opinion they disagree with that's a terrible precedent.

As long as the Constitutional remedies for overreaching judges are in place they need to be exhausted even if some find the process slow and inefficient. Another reason why Trump's SCOTUS appointments are crucial to the long term health of the republic.
