Well, it’s actually a temporary injunction toward one small aspect of the bill affecting only one entity impacted by said one aspect of the bill. It’s not a block on the entire bill. And just about every President has had agenda items work though Congress only to have the courts say hold on a minute, let’s take a look at this.  
 

Checks and balances are a key component to what makes this the greatest country in the world.

Yeah, small potatoes, but I’m not at all certain that the founders idea of checks and balances included the judicial branch telling the executive branch it had to spend money that the legislative branch didn’t appropriate.  In other words, spend money it didn’t have.  Sure, proceed with your case, but someone should be on the hook for the money spent in the interim, should the case lose.  Or wait for the verdict.

I suppose if a law or part of a law is unconstitutional, then the courts should intervene.   But it would be weird to say not spending money is unconstitutional and the money must be spent, unless some law dictates the expenditure.
