MSM Perspective

SCOTUSblog filed an ask. Thursday does not print a granted stay.

X Perspective

Feeds treat silence as a ruling.

States and civic groups urged the Supreme Court to leave in place an order prohibiting the Trump administration on mail ballots, in SCOTUSblog's file. [1] This paper printed an ask, not an order on the 8th. Thursday has no new First Street order in fetched copy. Pending is not a ruling. Silence from the Court is not a granted stay. Print pending. Do not print decided.

Leave a named order to the edition that owns an order. A quiet docket is still a quiet docket. Thursday recap that treats One First Street silence as a ruling is a feed, not an order.

Print pending. The Street count stands; the update has not come, on this Thursday politics desk.
Silence is still not a granted stay.
Thursday is not a stay.

One First Street moves on cert grants and orders lists, not news cycles. Thursday's list holds no mail case. The ask waits its turn in the pile.

Piled asks wait; Thursday's waits. Waiting is the update. Lists come Mondays.

One First Street moves on cert grants, not news cycles. Thursday's list is empty of mail. Civic asks are still furniture.

Civic groups still ask the Court to leave the mail-ballot prohibition in place. Thursday's First Street list carries no new order. An ask from the 8th is still not a decision. SCOTUSblog's file has not become a ruling.
First Street listed no new order Thursday. The prohibition still sits. SCOTUSblog's file has not become a ruling.

First Street listed no new order Thursday. The prohibition still sits. SCOTUSblog's file has not become a ruling.
