Final thoughts: Judge will grant a TRO but shouldn't. Plaintiffs have burden of showing injury caused by violation of law. There is no final agency action & if there was, it isn't arbitrary & capricious b/c important things were waived & there is alternative remedy. 1/

2/ There is no Separation of Powers issue b/c it is not imminent that Trump won't spend all of appropriated funding. And the Plaintiffs can't prove injury b/c they don't identify which grants can be canceled or stayed under grants b/c they don't identify and provide grants.
3/ The judge's questions show he knows all of this but wants to enter an order to prevent the "dire harm" claimed. (Food rotting & medicine expiring is nuts. Meds have 2 year expiration dates and won't be on shelf is just about bad & food is staples w/ late dates plus waived.
4/4 Judge knows the problem and thus asked plaintiffs for an order to see if it is possible to give relief.
