I thought I was the only one. I am totally confused. What did we just hear yesterday? Did USSC issue this ruling today only because Biden pushed the envelope and asked for emergency relief?
SCOTUS has now considered the regime's arguments and lifted its stay to allow the appeals court's decision to stand.
So the net result is that the law can go into effect pending the outcome of the trial. Note that SCOTUS made no decision on the merits of the case.
I would guess the 5th Circuit will uphold the state's arguments and SCOTUS will get the case again.
The stay yesterday was termed “indefinitely,” right. Looks as if they did not want to specify an efffective term, as they knew the ruling was imminent.
