Instead, they want the case sent back down to the district court for a full trial on the merits.
On the other hand, Texas, the appealing party before the Supreme Court, wants the high court to weigh on the standards applied by the district court at the PI phase.

The Texas case is a bit interesting procedurally because the plaintiffs in the case (who won a preliminary injunction below) are mostly asking SCOTUS to dismiss the case on the grounds that disputes over the PI are now moot in light of the Supreme Court stay.

NEW: The Texas redistricting case has been distributed for the Supreme Court’s April 24 conference.
If the court decides to hear the case, it would be argued in the court term that starts in October.

Wisconsin liberals have just won another state Supreme Court election, in what is shaping up to be a blowout.
Importantly: Liberals are now sure to hold a majority on this court during the 2028 cycle and through at least 2030.

The SAVE Act goes beyond voter ID. It would require a passport or birth certificate to register to vote, which would block millions of American citizens from voting.

Greater NYC grew modestly overall last year, but that was due to immigration since the metro region continued to see significant out-migration.
With immigration expected to be much lower this year, a good likelihood the region's growth will turn negative.

First take out of court: Trump will lose, as he always should have, and the main question is how badly he’ll lose and on what grounds. There is a path for a 9-0 ruling, with Alito (and, to a less clear extent, Thomas) as the sticking points. More to come at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/

Breaking: The president has signed an executive order on mail voting. He has no lawful authority to write the rules that govern our elections. He tried a year ago; we sued him; we won. A year later, he has tried again. He can expect the same result. 1/2

As the Supreme Court prepares to take up the question of birthright citizenship on Wed, a great look at the immigration stories of the Justices' families.
