Are you saying this appeal will somehow delay the "real meat" case coming to trial? Maybe there is linkage but I don't see it.

I'm going to have to defer to the lawyers on that one. I don't know if appealing a temporary restraining order like this delays the rest of the trial, or if the lower court can continue working the case.

It seems to me that Trump would be adverse to delays. He wants to get his EO before SCOTUS as soon as possible.

This appeal would not do that. All this appeal can do is determine if the district court judge properly issued the TRO. It would not get the EO itself into the USSC.
