SC allows partial travel ban pending appeal

[Crumpets]

Since the original travel ban only lasted 90 days, where do they get the authority to keep this one section active until October? Might we see this partial ban enforced until they decide the case next year only to then have the entire ban last 90 days from then until it expires if it is upheld?

[Crumpets]

It was suspended very quickly so presumably the argument would be that the clock on the 90 days stopped when the suspension was ordered and started again today.

It was rewritten to go into effect 72 hours after being upheld by the courts.

That makes sense, but is it still set to expire at some pre-decided date? 90 days from 72 hours from now is late September. So we might get this half-assed version lasting until then, followed by... return to status quo? And if the ban is upheld when the case is eventually held, then what? Another 90 days with the full ban lasting for a few months in 2018?
