The problem is that this is how fascism ferments, it's not about planning, it's about taking action. So what if it doesn't pass through the courts? For trump and his supporters that's just evidence that the courts are against him. That the courts are not equipped to deal with today's problems. That we don't need courts, we just need to give someone enough power to get the job done.
it is the nature of personalist authoritarian regimes. Anything that presents them with information or outcomes that don’t serve the leaders goals gets turned in to an enemy, even if it’s the dumbest strategic choice possible.
They have an incredibly favorable Supreme Court, and rather than working with it to consolidate power, they are throwing rocks at it for not letting them do what ever they want.
