I can't find it anywhere.

There's something very odd going on here. First, it's only buried on this page at Fox News. I don't see it anywhere else, Drudge, Yahoo, Google, whereever.

Second, the Fox story says the "6th District Court of Appeals" reversed Dlott's and Adams' rulings. There is no "6th District Court of Appeals" at the federal level. That's the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. (There is an intermediate Ohio appellate court called the Sixth District Court of Appeals (there are 12 appellate districts in Ohio), but of course they cannot "reverse" a federal judge's ruling.)

Third, it would be virtually impossible for the Sixth Circuit federal court to "reverse" the U.S. district courts' rulings. A stay might be somehow remotely possible, but I can't see it at this late hour.

Something really is screwy at Fox . . . .
