Actually, I think ACB has it bass ackwards.

There are 13 circuits of the U.S. courts of appeals. Theoretically, you could have multiple versions of the law in place at the same time, depending on what circuit you’re in. Pure chaos until the SCOTUS (the real imperial Judiciary) gets their act together.

....which is WHY ACB wrote what she wrote.
There's 1 sole judicial arbiter that is responsible for the entire country: the US Supreme Court. You can't have 13 different district courts all writing contradicting TROs, say.
