        So, DOJ is going to #SCOTUS over exempting grandparents from the #travelban & allowing in refugees who are working w/ resettlement agencies.

        "Only this Court can definitively settle whether the government’s reasonable implementation is consistent with this Court’s stay." (Duh.)

        I mean, of c SCOTUS is the only one that can definitively settle it. But, DOJ uses that as a dig — bc Hawaii did what 9th Cir told it to do.

        Also: DOJ sorta sticks the answer to the question into its premise by calling its implementation "reasonable." Hawaii disagrees.

        Is there a direct route to the Supreme Court that I don't know about? Will have to go to CA9 first, right?

        Not a lawyer. But because this is about "defining" the Supreme Court ruling, they can go directly to the Supreme Court.
