Nonetheless, absent further action, the district court's ruling striking down the FEC rule — which was due to take effect Monday — is on hold now, by order of the Supreme Court.

The only times I've generally seen such temp, one-justice stays are in death penalty cases from states where, absent a stay, the state will proceed with an execution even while a stay request is pending. In that instance, a single justice will issue a stay while SCOTUS considers.

And those are instances where it's a stay NOW or death. So, I'm not quite sure why the Chief decided that a Saturday afternoon stay was necessary when the ruling doesn't even go int effect until Monday.

This has happened in other situations. Eg Sotomayor NYE stay for Little Sisters of the Poor, followed by a referral to the full court.

That was NYE. It was literally hours before it would go into effect. Kennedy also did so once recently with the 9th Circuit marriage ruling.

Sure. But it’s conceivable that he knows that a few of them are out of pocket this weekend. We just don’t know, but it seems plausible t me.

I did, too! I don't know. I'm not sure I get why you're so opposed to what I'm saying here, when I've said nothing different than what you're saying?

Well for starters you tweeted. I think we more or less agree but I am slightly less skeptical of his action than you are, but perhaps I misjudged your emoji.
