Thank you for this, maybe, reassuring summary. I would note that, via my son who works for one of the NGO’s involved, the Government aka Peter Marocco spent most of Wednesday canceling the remaining contracts that were on the books in order to be able to at the very least plead that it would be impossible to restore funding so quickly and also just because they are cruel and want Americans working in foreign aid to lose their jobs and people to die. I would hope that at the very least the NGO’s would be able to present this sabotage of the payment system as evidence before SCOTUS for their malign intent

I wonder whether Roberts will back Trump simply because he is afraid that Trump will defy his order and he doesn't want the Court to appear impotent. He may be more concerned with maintaining the appearance of a co-equal branch of government than with maintaining democracy. If the Court rules against Trump, maybe some Republicans will grow a backbone.
