More about the "non-injunction injunction", quoting the opinion (case law citations snipped):

"The last issue to be resolved is the plaintiffs’ request for injunctive reliefenjoining implementation of the Act, which can be disposed of very quickly. Injunctive relief is an “extraordinary” ..., and “drastic” remedy.... It is even more so when the party to be enjoined is the federal government, for there is a long-standing presumption; that officials of the Executive Branch will adhere to the law as declared by the court. As a result, the declaratory judgment is the functional equivalent of an injunction.

"... There is no reason to conclude that this presumption should not apply here. Thus, the award of declaratory relief is adequate and separate injunctive relief is not necessary."

[KC Burke]

I can hear the Democrats yucking it up over this part:

for there is a long-standing presumption; that officials of the Executive Branch will adhere to the law as declared by the court.
