They only have power if the executive actually enforces their decisions. And failing that, the people in general.
The point was that with sufficient support in the populace and the executive, the rule of the law can be broken and Trump is moving somewhat in this direction by trying to discredit every institution that tries to block him.

Surely the USA are a more stable country than Turkey, but that's probably what the Romans thought, too. AND WHERE ARE THEY NOW? ;)
That's what I was touching on in my response to your portion - executive power overriding subtle judicial arguments, and courts actively deferring to the executive in order to avoid a situation in which the executive have to choose between following onerous court orders, or explicitly rejecting them.

Sorry for rambling.
