Will there or won't there be cage fights on the South Lawn of the White House?

There was a flurry of activity this morning in Douglas v. NPS, the lawsuit we discussed last night that challenges Trumps plan to hold UFC cage fights to celebrate his birthday the 250th anniversary of our independence. The federal courts' electronic document system, PACER, is only available to users who pay for its services, and at the time I wrote this, none of the documents from this case were publicly available yet, so Ive taken screenshots. Hopefully, more of them will show up with public links by the end of the day or tomorrow if you like to read the entire document for yourself.
The case has been assigned to Judge Amit P. Mehta, an Obama appointee. A little background on him is relevant because were likely to see a barrage of attacks from Trump.
