Oh, he still has the ability to do it, injunction or no. The act would clearly be within his statutory authority as chief executive of the state. No court can legitimately restrain him from the exercise of his executive perogative to carry out his duties under the Florida Constitution and statutory law. This is a judicial usurpation pure and simple.
The question isn't: Can he? It's will he? And I think the answer will prove to be: NO.
However, just my reading of his facial expressions and tone of voice yesterday when he stated his hands are tied, I did denote a kind of whiny, wobbling, shaking tone of voice, a kind of 'deer in the headlights' look, misplaced grimaces and darting eyes.
Look, this is when a man really finds it in himself to stand and deliver.
Some Governors (even on the wrong side of US history) stood without flinching. Wrong side governors strike me as Wallace, Maddox, Faubus, etc. Wrong but strong, grounded, principled and unflinching. Just as were Bobby Kennedy and Katzenbach.
But I did not get any of that from Governor Bush's darting eyes and somewhat shellshocked, "akirame" (as the Japanese would say), "It's out of my hands, what can I do?" kind of demeanor.
I feel for the guy, but this may well be his moment in history and moment as a man.
