7. I suspect there's reasons for not issuing a TRO that I as a layperson am unaware of...

Like perhaps it would add a longer delay as fighting and appealing the TRO would drag the focus off of the facts of the case itself. Adding more delay on a final ruling. Maybe the Judge is attempting to keep it on the core issues to expedite a permanent injunction.

Just a guess.

With all due respect to the process, what are all of the illegally terminated federal employees and other creditors/contract holders supposed to do when the bills for health insurance premiums, mortgages, child care, etc start rolling in at the end of the month. Tell them to hold their horses? It’s in litigation?

That’s not going to fly. These people will be ruined.
