But the judge wants the government to file a response by Friday explaining exactly what the government thinks it wants.

Victoria Nourse, Georgetown University law professor: "If the president refuses to abide by the court orders, then we will have a true constitutional crisis...The president takes a constitutional oath to faithfully execute the law. If he willfully rejects the law’s resolution, he will have violated his oath of office, as determined by the courts, in the most fundamental way...

"Short of a new election or impeachment, though, there will be no way to resolve the matter if the president refuses to comply with a court order. Courts have no armies. The judiciary could cite him for contempt, but if his Justice Department will not prosecute (and we know that they will not), then we are at a constitutional crisis."

As Trump likes to say, "We'll see what happens."

that the injunction preventing the inclusion of the citizenship question is still in effect. It also shows how Trump has thrown a spanner in the works and now everybody is confused, including the judge and the lawyers for both sides.

Unbelievable... We still don't know how this is going to turn out. But it's shaping up to be a clear Constitutional crisis.
