Actually, the en banc meeting is probably a hearing to determine jurisdiction.
Courts do have the power to adjudicate their own jurisdiction like that, and enforce such injunctions and orders as are necessary to bring that about.

the action of the state Supreme Court was clearly wrong, if not idiotic, and maybe, given that this is Nevada, even corrupt. But upon what grounds does the federal court arrogate to itself the authority to enjoin deliberations by a state legislature?

does feds have jsd? Yes, if the state citizens are denied their own fundamental rights such as "rule of law" which is a federal constitutional right to "ordered liberty" under the 14 th Amendment to the federal constitution. I hope that that is the way the plaintiffs (state republicans) framed th eissue is in applying for the stay [or injunciton] which was granted today.
Essentially, when you are the victim of judicial activism run amok, as here, you have your federal constituional right to ordered liberty destroyed. If the state supreme court is overturned on those federal constitutional grounds, that would be great. Otherwise the judicial activists have enacted tyranny in Nevada.
