If you look at the trans healthcare ban, for an example of how long lawsuits take. The executive order was signed on January 28th. 4 days after the executive order, Pflag’s lawsuit filed their lawsuit in federal court. 5 days after the EO, they submitted the motion for a temporary restraining order. It wasn’t until February 13th, a full 15 days since the filing of the EO that the judge ruled on the temporary restraining order blocking the EO from being in effect. There were a total of 15 days when that illegal order was enforceable before the courts went through the process of providing the quickest possible emergency remedy.
Even when going as fast as possible, and granting emergency relief, courts take long enough to cause real damage. 15 days to cause farmers these problems even if the spending freeze does eventually get blocked.

Yeah, thanks. I just read the title initially as “trump (is) spending freeze-sticks (for) iowa farmers”.
