I’m not a legal professional (merely an ill-informed amateur), and especially not an American one, but it seems to me like the judge’s order makes a pretty convincing argument that the injunction is legally warranted.

Maybe we might consider that federal law might be the problem before we rush to accuse the judge personally of being a nonce?
