In addition to standing, the 3 judge panel bought in on the trial judge's conclusion that unspecified financial loss and temporary inconvenience equated to irrevocable loss. Most importantly, he asserted, without evidence, and they accepted that the states were likely to win the case at trial. When the case is actually heard and real evidence is presented by real trial lawyers, it is going to be obvious that this matter should have never been allowed to reach this point.
I\Yes, if they get into standing in any meaningful way the Justice lawyers should surely win those arguments as well. Both the standing of MN and WA and also the lack of standing of Robart himself to rule in matters of national security and foreign affairs.
