@Humpleupagus @Tony @ins0mniak @mitchconner Disagree in part: immediate granting of ex parte TROs which technically can't be appealed is very much a trope of our current regime of Inferior Court Supremacy.

Also beware of an instant appeal to the Ninth Circus Circuit. The ACLU did that in an illegals case after giving the Texas district judge 42 minutes to rule (and got swatted down, then the Supreme Court both granted it and chastised the inferior judges; look for Judge Ho's "not a Denny's" scathing towards the Supreme Court order for lots more).

One thing any legal mind with a clue will be thinking about is that Trump can instantly trump this legal action with the Insurrection Act. In fact, from the 1994 timing of 10 U.S. Code § 12406 after G. H. W. Bush's invocation of the former for the 1992 Rodney King riots, I'm pretty sure it was passed (and by Democrats) to give a president a less powerful tool if needed.
