Mother effer! And no reasoning whatsoever as per the modus operandi of all these accursed "shadow docket" decisions.I'm not sure that's correct. Most of the reporting I've seen tracks how SCOTUSBlog described the order, which is a temporary pause in the lower order
while the SCOTUS considers the request for stay - not a granting of the request for stay.
IOW, the administration asked the Court for a stay, and the Court hasn't figured out yet whether to use the "shadow docket" to grant it yet. Therefore, the existing pause that the lower court gave to allow the Court time to review the request is continued for a bit until the Court rules on the stay.
The Supreme Court on Friday afternoon allowed construction on a new 90,000-square-foot White House ballroom to continue – at least for now. Senior U.S. District Judge Richard Leon had issued an order, slated to go into effect at the end of the day, that would have stopped above-ground work on the project. But Chief Justice John Roberts issued a temporary order, known as an administrative stay, that kept Leon’s order on hold to give the justices more time to consider the Trump administration’s request to pause it.scotusblog.com - Supreme court allows white house ballroom construction to continue for now
