Most of the judicial branch’s effective power comes from precedent: the court rules on one case, and that informs other officials’ interpretation of the law in similar circumstances going forward. This order seems to replace judicial precedent with the president’s opinion as the basis for interpreting the law outside the courts, with the court now only able to override that opinion on a case by case basis.
The executive branch is charged with enforcing the law: for the general public, the law is effectively what the executive branch says it is unless you have the resources to take them to court and prove otherwise.

And that does not usurp the judicial branch as stated above.
And when the top tier of the Judicial Branch is already the Fascist’s lapdog?
