      CREW and Howell said that's wrong under the law, regardless of the rule, so the rule must go. Howell gave the FEC time to pass a new rule, which they didn't do, and the ruling was set to go into effect on Monday.

      Stays were sought without resolution from Howell and the DC Circuit, leading Crossroads to file the request for a stay at SCOTUS. All such requests go to an individual justice initially, and Roberts is assigned the DC Circuit.

      In the interim, both the DC Circuit and District Court denied the stay applications filed in those courts — leaving SCOTUS as the only available outlet.

      Such stay applications directed to individual justices at the Supreme Court can be acted on individually or referred to the full court. They often are referred in contested matters.

      The language in Roberts' stay order about "pending further order" suggests he views this as a temporary measure, put in place to keep Howell's ruling from going into effect until the full Supreme Court can decide how it wishes to resolve the stay application request.

      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. 🤔

      The question I've been discussing with people is this: Did the Chief Justice's stay just reverse the effect of a 4-4 vote? In other words, previously it would have taken 5 votes to grant a stay. Does this now mean it takes 5 votes for the stay to be lifted?

      If it's just a temporary stay by Roberts pending a referral or the lower court decision to the full court, isn't the full court still ruling on the lower court's decision rather than on Roberts's order? If so, I wold think the appellant still needs a majority of the full court

      That was my initial thought, but some have thought otherwise!

          Bizarre. Not well-versed in appellate procedure, but it would make so sense to me to treat this like an "appeal" of Roberts's stay, particularly if that stay is nothing more than a non-fully considered placeholder pending a referred decision.
