There is some political downside to a high profile legal defeat, but on balance given the timely nature of the objective here, this seems to be a pretty obvious strategy.
Not if some judge issues a temporary restraining order which is probably the first thing the opponents will request and they are likely to get it because they will find a "friendly" judge to ask.
