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
