I can't help you with the judges. Judges rule differently pretty frequently especially when it comes to things with blurred lines like when a state actor is or is not part of the state.

I can answer your other question, though: we're in this position because the president decided to take an action that went against longstanding understanding of the law, and where Congress hasn't given clear legal authority.

So now the courts are left to clean up the mess, which can itself be messy, as we see.
