The ED of MI ruled on the merits of Stein’s case. Just because she lost doesn’t mean that federal court didn’t rule. The long hearing on Wednesday was to address her claims on the merits, and the opinion was on the merits.

Yeah, I have just read his decision. He is apparently of the mistaken opinion that he has appellate jurisdiction over a state case.

I think the 6th Circuit was more circumspect, and probably shared my opinion, since they clearly indicated he should dissolve his order pending the decision of the MI court.

In the footnote to his recusal letter, it's pretty clear Chief Justice Young agrees with my position and does not excuse Goldsmith's meddling.
