For the record I do agree the US is cooked in an unrecoverable way. I’m quite confident the courts won’t be able to back up any orders they do give out. I’m just not sure a temporary pause for the court to be briefed is that point.
I’ll be very interested in seeing what comes of this in the next few days.
