That matters only if there's enforcement. Otherwise, judges are just old men in robes ranting and raving about the way the world used to work.

That a first step. Nobody will spontaneously defend your right. You have to do it yourself and associate to other people wanting to defend their rights too
And what will this judge do when the Trump administration completely ignores his ruling? Because Trump is definitely gonna throw a tantrum and call this judge “an active judge” as an excuse to ignore his ruling and do whatever the hell he wants anyway.
There is only one way to stop Trump from doing what he’s doing, and it is not by asking nicely.
I'm tired of seeing this kind of defeatist response to good news. That judge is doing a good job.
This isn't defeatism, it's realism.
We're already knee-deep in the constitutional crisis. Admitting that there's a good chance that Trump will simply ignore the rulings against him isn't discouraging, it's radicalizing.

That's not what the above commentor was doing though. They were criticizing the judge for doing their job. That's also known as "Obeying in advance." Just because they'll break the law doesn't mean it's not important to uphold the structure.
Unless you’re hallucinating, I never mentioned the word “defeat”. In fact, I painted a very clear path towards victory.
I agree with you and appreciate the call out and the positivity. Too many new accounts on Lemmy lately that are commenting negative and defeatist things on positive headlines.
