Shame the constitution only matters when Trump or his cronies say it does. The American justice system has been broken and the cause came from within.

this is factually not accurate, trump's actions are constantly getting legally challenged and blocked
Just not by SCOTUS (cf. the shadow docket which has not gone against Trump since May).
SCOTUS actually took some of that "constantly being legally challenged and blocked" away when they took away nation-wide injunctions. Even if they're issued by federal judges against nation-wide orders which were given by a nationally-powerful elected official.

Arguably, they added to it, since now nation-wide policies are instead being blocked locally by multiple district courts instead of just facing nationwide injunctions in the first place they are litigated.
