Talk to Speaker Moore’s writer about it. The sentence reads perfectly well if you pay attention to the comma.

It is a case in which the Lead Plaintiff is the Speaker of the NC House of Representatives. And two Federal judges slapped this scheme down, using grammatically correct Federal Court Orders.

The comma is incorrect. The writer realized there was something wrong: the phrase starting “in a case ...” modifies the noun “order,” way back near the beginning. He tried to fix it with the comma, because he needed a breath, but he really needed to rearrange the whole sentence.

Every day is a school day!
