Technical question:

Is Sotomayor acting in concert with the rest of the SC, or is this solely her decision?

If she alone has issued the stay, what gives her the power to do so?

Thanks in advance,

RE: Is Sotomayor acting in concert with the rest of the SC, or is this solely her decision?

This appeal was made in the 10th Circuit Court.

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, oversees the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

This is common. A procedural thing. This decision can be appealed by Obama to the full Court but it is evident that the votes are not there for Obama.
