"how during a shutdown the federal government can order people to work without pay"
I dunno. I disagree with this ruling, and would appeal it immediately, instead of showing up to his court again.

D.C. Judge Tells Furloughed Workers They Must Stay On The Job

January 15, 20199:56 PM ET

U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon denied the workers' request for a restraining order that would require the government to pay its employees or allow them to stay home, The Washington Post reports. He reportedly said it would be "profoundly irresponsible" to issue an order that would keep thousands of workers off the job.

With his ruling, Leon maintained the status quo. However, he asked for further information from the government and union, O'Duden says. The attorney says the judge will hear additional arguments on Jan. 31.
