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. Friday 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.

No Friday SCOTUS order is in the mail-ballot stack, so pending remains the word and not a granted stay.
A pending ask is still pending. Friday recap that treats One First Street silence as a ruling is a feed, not an order.
No Friday stay is in the mail-ballot stack, so pending remains the Court's word as this desk has it.
This edition will not invent a stay to fill a quiet Friday.
