Absolutely Not
"the judge is absolute within their rights to call on Apple to break that encryption"
Absolutely Not. The court is there to enforce the law. What is being suggested is that the court can force a third party to assist it in whatever way it deems necessary. And the third party is not allowed to say "sorry, I don't want to help you” nor to refuse to jump through any hoops demanded.
Instead of being left to carry on their own business, and despite having broken no law, they must do whatever the court directs.
Not good.
