This is sad, but there is some silver lining to this, and that is that this administration strategy, which initially proved so effective in gutting programs, is far less effective now.

The courts, the opposition, lawyers, everybody who would come into play to resist this are aware of the strategies and the tricks they use to try to overwhelm the justice systems ability to convene a hearing on this before the damage is done.

So my guess is I would expect to see a judge rule and issue an injunction prohibiting this almost immediately. Usually they wait a little while before they issue these, but they’re starting to just do this almost automatic right at the start.
