What injunction?
No judge has actually ordered the federal government to cease operating under this policy. A single court has merely held (rightly so) that it finds this policy invalid and therefore will not uphold it. That does not prevent another court, at the same level, from disagreeing and upholding the policy.
Um. Technically, no injunction has been entered yet, but it will be shortly -- that is the whole point of the ruling. I haven't finished reading the 86-page decision yet, but both the press accounts and the opinion are quite clear that an injunction is going to be issued. From page 2 (the first actual page after the cover) of the decision (86p pdf):
And from the last page, the final paragraphs read:
Plaintiff shall submit a Proposed Judgment, including a Permanent Injunction, consistent with the terms of this Memorandum Opinion, no later than September 16, 2010. Defendants may submit objections to the form of the Proposed Judgment no later than seven days after Plaintiff submits its Proposed Judgment.
IT IS SO ORDERDED.
