Is it a good sign that the Appeals Court acted so quickly? [View all]

Does it mean they take the DOJ at its word that our national security is under threat?

They have ordered the DOJ and Trump's lawyers to have their arguments ready by this Tuesday. That is fairly quick. They could have taken longer.

Does it bode well for a decision in the DOJ's favor? Or should we take nothing from their time schedule?

Will they, with their Trump majority on their Court, rule with Judge Cannon, and force the DOJ to appeal to the Supreme Court ?

Or should we interpret nothing from their quick action?
