Although injunctive and declaratory relief can issue against a subordinate official or agency charged to implement an executive order, the plaintiffs sue President Biden but no subordinate official implementing Executive Orders 14042 or 14043. “With regard to the President, courts do not have jurisdiction to enjoin him . . . and have never submitted the President to declaratory relief.”

Sue again but sue the Secretary of Defense or the Secretary of the Navy who are tasked with implementing the order.

I'm going to have to try and break it all down, but it looks like the judge wants more proof that the military/DOD won't approve any religious exemptions for military or civilian.

It also looks like the judge is saying to let the entire appeal process to play itself out, and anyone affected gets the boot, until those affected bring charges. To me, that's like saying, "let's wait until the robber stabs me or shots me, then I'll file." That whole premise is so ludicrous it defies comprehension.

Everyone knows, and I'm sure the judge has to know, that the DOD has every intention of booting or firing anyone who doesn't comply, and has no plans to approve any waivers/exemptions. These lawsuits are a preemptive strike to ensure none of that happens, to safeguard our jobs/careers. Evidently that is all lost on our judiciary.
