This is a great victory (for now)!
This is why we need to separate the judiciary from the government or any politics whatsoever.
I am not so confident that the supreme court would find the same ruling since the president have the power to nominate the justices. I find US practice of the Senate questioning the nominee's ideology awkward.
Justices need to have permanent tenure to prevent political influences to affect their decisions.

Moreover, the Senate routinely blocks their appointment for political reasons. So what distinguishes them from SCoTUS justices in this sense?
