nowhere special
In Federalist No. 78, Alexander Hamilton described the judiciary as “beyond comparison the weakest of the three departments of power.” He reasoned that without “influence over either the sword or the purse,” the Court only has the power of judgment.
Courts have taken more power for themselves than the Constitution allows.

Judicial activism is the worst. They don't have the authority to write laws.
For far too long, our elected leaders have deferred to the judicial branch so they do not have to make a decision and win the judiciary decide something they can just say “hey we tried”! And all the while and unelected judge is running the country.

They are essentially powerless
They make rulings and are elected leaders pretend like it is gospel and they have to follow it no matter what. it gives them a lot of cover so they never have to make any choices and be held to any standard.
They in fact have so little power, the president can pardon whoever he pleases.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
The only power they have is whatever power the executive branch decides to give them to enforce it. It would be the legislative branches job to impeach a president. They feel was not doing what they were supposed to do.
Trump is going to push back. He’s got a portrait of Jackson on the wall in the oval.

That’s not a precedent we should encourage to continue
Well, it’s already been set and it’s actually the way our constitution is supposed to work. Similar to Joe Biden, ignoring the decision about college loans. It made a little more difficult for him, but he still did it. Nobody could really stop him except the legislature and they chose not to.

And of course, the citizens have a chance to vote every four years.

I’d be willing to hear your point more, maybe I’m wrong, but I feel like it’s not how our constitution would have it

If the president doesn’t have to listen to judges, and if he can do blanket pardons, and has presidential immunity, than we are way too close to a king/dictator

Not at all, it’s still legislature job to hold him accountable. That’s the way the constitution works. And of course, there is a vote every four years.. pretty hard to be a king and be voted out. It’s a legislature feels the president is violating. A judge is orders that are legitimate. They have a right to impeach him. Even removing him.
