Another Autumn Afternoon

Thomas is the Justice over this circuit. Yes, recusal on the high court sucks, because it is left to the individual Justice. Lower courts can be told what to do, but the Supreme Court privileges itself as equal to the Congress and the POTUS. Although the Court can tell Congress and POTUS what to do.

But this is an administrative stay, not a ruling. A ministerial act, not a judicial one.
This simply gives the Court time to decide if there’s something here. Likely any other justice would do the same (Prof. Valeck notes the Yeshiva case Justice Sotomayor stayed, then joined the majority in rejecting the appeal.). If you think this is a BFD, get off the intertoobs and take a calming walk. Or your blood pressure meds. Whatever works for you.

Life’s too short to treat everything like an outrage.
