> If things should be different then we need legislative/constitutional changes

lol, yes, like birthright citizenship written plainly into the constitution.

What good are your further legislative/constitutional changes worth if the executive can just ignore them except for the single individuals who file suit?

The ruling today very explicitly and clearly does not touch the birthright citizenship issue.

In practice it absolutely does, because now everyone is scrambling to try and protect their clients that were previously covered by the larger injunction. The supreme court could have just not taken the case in the first place, or let the injunctions stand as an appropriate use of injunctions (for grossly unconstitutional executive orders)

The only reason the avoided is to avoid countering Trump, it's dead obvious that Trump is forbidden by law to do what he's doing. It's going to take months to years for a real 14th amendment case to reach them, meanwhile he's shipping people off to "3rd nations" to imprison them there in the worst conditions imaginable and indefinitely with no court process or trial. Why should an illegal immigrant go to prison, potentially for the rest of their life just because they illegally crossed the border?

The judicial still has significant tools to stop an executive branch that is clearly acting illegally. So does the legislative. If these branches don't leverage those tools, or those tools don't work, we have bigger problems.

Guess what: You're living in the world of bigger problems.

The dissent on this court decision beautifully reasons why there is no practical recourse for the judicial branch to intervene after this decision. The effective power to do so is now solely with the Supreme Court. But the procedure is such the the Government can simply prevent any relevant cases from reaching that court because in order to get there, the Government would have to appeal and they can just consistently choose not to do it.

You described our system where there is separation of powers.

The judicial branch interprets the law, but it doesn’t direct executive enforcement decisions

Not appealing can be politically controversial and that’s part of how democracy works

We are not left with no tools. Just need to use the right ones

It's hard to argue for since the 14th amendment is very easy to understand, and it's easy to understand why Trump is overstepping his authority
