Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas issued a sharp dissent on Monday from the rest of the Supreme Court’s decision to keep a new set of USPS mail-in ballot rules blocked, warning that the majority of the high court is “incorrectly” affirming a “Hail Mary” bid to halt the new policy ahead of the midterm elections.
The Supreme Court majority ruled 7-2 in an unsigned order to deny the Trump administration’s bid to lift a pair of blocks on a new USPS rule that would require mail-in ballots to bear Election Mail markings and be sent in automation-compatible envelopes with unique Intelligent Mail barcodes. The rule would also require election officials to submit eligible voters’ names, addresses, and corresponding barcode information through a federal portal.
The majority did not offer a rationale for their ruling, other than saying they believed the Justice Department did not show a likelihood of success on the merits. Justice Brett Kavanaugh offered a concurring opinion, while Alito wrote an eight-page dissent, joined by Thomas, arguing that the lower court’s block should have been lifted.
Kavanaugh explained in his concurring opinion that while there is “at least a fair prospect” the USPS rule falls within the Postal Service’s powers, the closeness of the legal challenge to the midterm elections led him to deny the petition because “state and local election officials do not have sufficient time to reasonably implement the rule before the elections.”
Alito found that several of the organizations suing over the mail-in ballot rule lacked standing, finding their rationale, which he said was “based on injuries to unnamed members who never filed declarations themselves,” should be insufficient to block the rule.

Does this squishtard really think that we’re gonna buy that contorted excuse for being a fag?
Insurrection act time
“ Kavanaugh explained in his con…”
Bla bla bla.
No sale
I guess you must have missed the day they taught law at law school, with that ignorant remark.
This country is gridlocked because of the labyrinth the commies have erected over a century.
And... then what?
SPECIFICALLY.
Trump’s three appointees voted to keep the election fraud train running.
Disappointing to say the least.
Only Republicans lack standing.
Oh look Furry is here to spew his commie propaganda.
There are two things both parties largely agree on: importing non whites and sending jobs overseas
The Supreme Court knows it needs democrats to win stop trump’s deportations and take back his tariffs
It’s funny about Supreme Court justices.
Trump’s three picks are often derided as being too liberal.
Yet the two most admired justices on Free Republic, were appointed by presidents who are derided here as having been too liberal.
Go figure.
Standing for thee, but not for we!
Then after that, there will be no Republic left.
All the while the Communists will be protesting about how they are saving Democracy from us normals.
The hypocrisy makes me want to hurl.
There will of course be Nork-type elections, with 99 percent turnout, all voting for the Rat selected by the Rat machine.
Keep it up, Supremes.
Keep it up.
Watch our country die.
I get it that there will not be changes for 2026, but does anything about this Supreme Court decision, or related lower court actions, prevent these changes from happening in 2028?
Yes, I get it, this is a setback for these mid terms. But based on issues of how there’s not enough time to do this for 2026, does it then follow that there is plenty of time to do this for 2028? And that these changes will be ok for 2028, because there is plenty of time to implememnt the changes for that year’s elections?
code for:
"Oops! I got busted for posting a non-sequitur, so I will use the "commie propaganda" angle".
Weak.
Stop that!
All of the Supreme Court justices other than alito and Thomas on the so-called conservative side are no better than neocons and Bush Republicans
They are comfortable losing
enforce ID for voting
Use the military to arrest anyone who is or had engaged in election interference since that falls under national security and can legally be tried at military courts
