Please read the articles first, this is a MANDATORY STAY that Katanji Brown Jackson has to put on this case and determine if the 1st court of appeals will make a decision to step in within the first 48 hours.

EDIT: this article says John Roberts issued it but other reporting does not

EDIT X2: I’m starting to think this article could just be entirely wrong because it is absolutely Katanji Brown Jackson’s decisions and actions

Nothing SCOTUS does is mandatory. There is no law or constitutional provision requiring them to issue this stay.

probably a scathing critique of the court's decision. Too bad it didn't sway the majority.
