The only court the POTUS is answers to is the SCOTUS.
All other courts are in SCOTUS parlance “inferior courts”.
“inferior courts” were created to lessen SCOTUS caseload.
Congress should eliminate the “inferior courts”. Let every case large and small go the the SCOTUS

Put the onus upon the SC. Have Trump say they’ll respect the decision of the SC’s review, but only then. This would discourage frivolous action and make the SC police their own.

I would agree in theory - BUT inferior courts and inferior executive branch officers ARE on equal footing. I don’t think there’s much of a dispute (legally, at least, whether you don’t like it isn’t really relevant) that while a District Court may not be able to enjoin the president, they can enjoin the secretary of Department X. So unless the president wants to do everything himself, effectively I’m not sure there’s any real teeth to the argument.
