This is almost startling.
The Trump administration scored a HUGE win on Saturday in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Not only did the court grant the administration's request for a stay pending appeal in several consolidated/related cases, but it set forth the framework that district courts should be adhering to in analyzing many of the cases currently pending before them regarding the administration's actions. ...
Margot Cleveland expounds on the ruling and on its ramifications:
...this opinion is a HUGE win for Trump because it establishes 3 key principles that apply to many of the other cases being brought against Trump Administration: a) no jurisdiction over firings; b) no jurisdiction over grant terminations; ...you can't get around Congress limiting district court jurisdiction by creative pleading of claims under other theories; d) with no bond harm to government will outweigh other harm; e) public has interest in Article III obey Article I. Court of Appeals decision is based on fundamental issue of “jurisdiction.” This conclusion should have wide-spread ramifications because many of challenges to Trump Administration are about employment decisions which CONGRESS said are NOT for district courts to decide
Back to RedState:
...this ruling firmly highlights critical jurisdictional issues that many of the district court judges have been blithely hand-waving away and, even more critically, reminds the courts that just as the executive needs to follow the law, so, too, do the courts. ...
There has been no shortage of outrage over the BozoBlackRobes' arrogance over the last 60 days or so, and it is likely that the DC Circuit (a Lefty bunch) has seen the pitchforks and torches in the distance and reacted accordingly.
Good. But don't extinguish those torches yet, and keep the tar and feathers handy. It ain't over until SCOTUS rules that the first sentence of Article Two means exactly what it says. Knowing Julia Roberts the way we do, well...........

I suspect this will go the way we hope & expect. I do expect SCOTUS to throw an irrelevant bone and add some wimpy observations about the executive branch just to make the leftists feel better
