Did the Order stand?

johnhawkinson.bsky.social•27 days ago

Well Judge Alikhan had an "administrative stay" not an Order (like a TRO or PI) and tht still expires at 5pm today. she indicated she is LIKELY to grant the TRO btwn 4:30 and 5pm.

The RI TRO from Friday (Judge McConnell) stands.

Thanks for doing this

We have some courtroom audio, and an announcement to the public in present about the rule against recording, as well as, amusingly, a prohibition on chewing gum.

ALL RISE at 11:03am. Judge AliKhan on the bench.

johnhawkinson.bsky.social•27 days ago

We have Kevin Friedl for Plaintiffs
and Daniel Schwei for DOJ.

Judge AliKahn asks DOJ's Schwei to start with the mootness question.

johnhawkinson.bsky.social•27 days ago

Schwei says (of course) it's moot and that Plantiffs don't have standing.

AliKhan interrupts and about the state of play, and the declarations saying agencies are still trying to implement it.

johnhawkinson.bsky.social•27 days ago

Schwei says that pausing in funding might not be because of the OMB memo.

He says in a few instances agencies referenced the OMB memo and "each time" DOJ acted to correct those instances.
He cites the NSF website being wrong, "and they promptly updated their website."

johnhawkinson.bsky.social•27 days ago

LK (judge): And is NSF funding still paused?
DS: There's a separate TRO [from Rhode Island]. The money is going out the door, or at least I think so from the website.

Setting aside that, NSF funding, if paused, would not have been from the OMB memo, but from the EOs or its own policies.
