Trump powers 'will not be questioned' official says

11. Man those guys are really ridiculous!

Yes, the president has broad authority with regards to immigration and national security issues, but that does not stop parties aggrieved from having legal recourse. The administration was sued, in court, by plaintiffs who said they had been damaged by the order. The Court, doing its CONSTITUTIONALLY mandated duty, reviewed the compliant, made a bench ruling pending further review, then heard arguments from both sides, then they ruled again pending further review. That is what courts do. That is all they do. They review, based on law and legal precedence, whether policies are within the boundaries of the constitution and are thus valid or not.

Trump and his sycophants are having a tantrum about it. Every president has been struck down at some point, by the court stating that a particular action, or piece of policy did not pass legal muster. They move on or they amend the policy to bring it inline with the ruling. They don't whine about how the court is somehow illegitimate or get all dictatorial.
