Blocks is a very odd word for something that was allowed and I’m sure will continue to be allowed to happen. Literally in the article
Breyer put the ruling on hold until September 12. The Trump administration is likely to appeal.
Why does the US court system work like this? If a court has ruled this action illegal, why is the bad actor allowed to continue doing it pending a failed appeal? Why is it not the other way around and the illegal action has to immediately stop pending a successful appeal?
The US justice system is a complete joke, designed only to oppress the poor and minorities. The sooner Americans wake up, the better.
It is common practice for a judge to do, what isn’t normal is an immediate filing for temporary injunction until appeals are exhausted. Basically the judge is just saying I know you’re probably going to appeal so here’s time for that to happen before anything is applied and we have to reverse things which is more hassle and more time for chucklefuckery.
That’ll be useful 3 months ago.
I guess I would take it being a US judge as a given. Not that this admin listens to our judges anyhow, bit I expect one from another country would hold even less sway.
I think it’s to distinguish from a state or local judge, basically using “US” as a shorthand for the fed. A judge whose rulings apply nationally as opposed to state or local jurisdictions.
They just mean US as in Federal jurisdiction. It’s unfortunately unambitious.

A symbolic gesture at best. Trump has replaced all the military higher ups with loyal people who will obey him above the last and now knows he can just ignore court orders without consequences.
