What constitutional right does the Federal Court have to make this demand, particularly when the House made sure to defund the enforcement of it?

First, be clear on what the ruling today was - Moore asked for a stay of the enforcement of the order. He didn't get it at the lower court because he waited until after his time had run out to ask for it. There is no legal basis for SCOTUS to give him a stay if he didn't follow proper procedure to get one.

Second - as for the authority, why not just read the opinions. Or the 27 threads where that issue is discussed extensively.

it takes the house and the senate and the president to make a bill law... just a group of reps offering a bill that is NOT signed, does not make give their 'wish list' the force of law.

it will be removed.
