Does his ruling reference his standing on the issue? The standing of the petitioner(s)? Appropriate citations?

Or is this Fake Law?

I believe it cited some ‘imminent and ongoing damage’ to both refugees and states-

I found the judge's ruling. It doesn't even touch the merits of the case. The standing of the states is based upon some of the visa holders being enrolled in state universities. He agreed with their argument that irreparable harm would occur if the temporary restraining order wasn't issued.

The ruling doesn't touch the legal standing of the executive branch to enforce laws, or the legality of the specific law in question. My guess is that the Administration will have to prove irreparable harm and/or that the federal government's interests outweigh the states'. Interference in constitutional responsibilities will hopefully win this case for the federal government.

From what I understand, he didn't address standing - just mumbled a few words about it being "in the public interest".

Bush' "compassionate conservatism" is biting us as bad as Obama's treason.
