One thing that isn't getting enough coverage is Trump is just doing things even if the court says No and they happen anyway. All the checks and balances fall apart when the authorities just ignore them and do what Trump says.
Here an immigrant was in the US on a valid visa. The Trump administration wanted to deport her and the judge said No, so they deported her anyway:

And that's that. The judge can't magic her back or use force to stop it. What do you do?
It's the same thing as anything else. What if the Supreme Court stops him from doing something and he orders it done anyway? They don't have an army to stop him and the authorities seem to be content to report to him over any court.
