Dr Franklin has indicated that Alito as Circuit Judge can issue a stay pending an En Banc Review of the appeal.
We will know soon if he does it. No clue if he will. The State did defy his order about separating ballots ( I think but maybe not..I have seen claims they followed it)
Alito as Circuit Judge
He is not a circuit judge. He is the Supreme Court Justice responsible for the Circuit that has jurisdiction for the case.
