> The state of affairs prior to this ruling is that any of 700 district judges could unilaterally block the president from exercising his authority under the constitution pending a review

This ruling does not "restore" a functioning balance, it damages it. This has never been a problem in the past because previous administrations (regardless of politics) didn't take illegal actions daily. Framing it as "politics" is disingenuous as many of the judges ruling against Trump were appointed by him.

The system was working as intended to check an executive acting outside of the law, but once again, the supreme court continues to empower the executive.

When the Supreme Court has multiple members who have and continue to openly break the law themselves, they have a vested interest in keeping a party in power who is also openly corrupt.

In our system, the judicial branch interprets the law, but it doesn’t direct executive enforcement decisions

Constitution would have to be changed
