Yep, I'm just kind of surprised that a federally appointed state-level judge can overturn an Executive Order, even temporarily. I assumed that would have to go to the supreme court, but I guess I was wrong about that

Well, someone has to hear it - usually a high court in a state can make the decision, and then you appeal up to a Federal court, and then appeal up to the Supreme Court, if they like, who then decides one way or the other (if they hear the case at all).

Last I heard, Wisconsin and Washington filed suit against the federal government, which is still pending? I assumed that would be where this could be overturned.

Agreed, for the most part.
If you're gonna have government with this kind of sweeping power, having the various branches have at each other over it is at least better than simply allowing any branch unchecked power.
