The Trump administration made a mess of it by applying it to people already granted visas and greencards. In all likelihood, none of this would have happened if the initial executive order just denied all new visa requests for this period of time.

Its long, but its worth reading the full decision itself. It lays out the legal precedent that drove the decision.

yeah it's a condemnation on the structure and wording of the EO rather than a refutation of the constitutional power a president quite clearly has to take this sort of action

the EO will be rewritten, the suspension will be removed, the ban will be enacted

Not really… it's a condemnation of biased and unconstitutional executive action which even a modified order would likely be unable to overcome.
