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. Pending remains the only honest First Street word on this Thursday politics desk.
Silence is still not a granted stay.
Thursday is not a stay.
