JD is drawing false equivalence, to lead to the conclusion that law doesn’t matter.

Does a judge plan a military operation? No. But they can establish if it is legal.

That’s their whole job, to establish if actions violate the law. If they violate the law, they can order them to stop.

Judges don’t write the law. You don’t like the judge’s ruling? Change the law. Judges don’t write the laws, they just interpret the ones that exist.

JD is arguing that judges (and by extension, the law, and by extension the fundamental concept of the rule of law) don’t apply to him and Trump. It’s literally an argument for monarchy.
