Lots of thee orders from lower level Judges will get tossed... by Appellate Courts and eventually the SCOTUS.

I don't get real excited when Judges throw road blocks in front of Trump, knowing they will probably be tossed.

I thought they said he wasn't in charge of DOGE. Because if he is, then he would have to divulge his conflicts of interest - right?

And the court says the stay would cause harm for Musk and DOGE - Aaargh! That's backwards.
