NPR's filed suit that a law should be struck down. Until it's enjoined, it's in effect.

CPB needs to award the money fairly soon because it's moribund; it's following the current law.

If the money's not awarded at all, presumably the current funding to NPR will expire and nobody's going to be funded to continue what's acknowledged to be a valuable service. This will hurt NPR and its established partners, which I'm guessing aren't CPB's.

But I don't see a judge stopping CPB from following the current law just in case another judge might strike it down (unless it's the same judge, then it's going to be tricky). But the case will drain CPB's reserves just that much faster and if the grant's not awarded by the time CPB's ready to turn out the lights, I wonder what happens to the money?
