Kansans have a way of voting for annoying Karen type governors, sadly.

Yes, in fact a very long history of this, dating back to the entry of Kansas to the Union. The first Kansas Republicans were liberal New Englander immigrants. Many of their descendants are still Republicans, and their liberalism runs in the family.

Thanks for the informative reply. I took a few law courses in grad school — but, there are many differences between the American and Canadian justice systems. Some aspects of the American system still mystify me, despite learning a lot here over the years.

This remedy in this case is unusual.

A TRO on a government order is usually applied to all parties affected by the order, not just the parties in the caption. This judge is allowing the state to continue to impose what the judge found to probably be an unconstitutional order.
