"The more I read the Court’s Monday night ruling in Trump v. J.G.G., in which a 5-4 majority vacated a pair of temporary restraining orders entered by Chief Judge Boasberg in the Alien Enemy Act case, the more I think that this ruling really is a harbinger, and a profoundly alarming one, at that."

That's not what the Supreme Court does in the US system of government.
The position of the Court is emphatically not to support or attack such a thing. It's to give answers to specific questions of law brought before it.
It's BECAUSE the Supreme Court believes in the rule of law that it won't violate the legal system by speaking like that.
