I guess I’m too stupid to follow the chain of events of what’s going on here and what’s the expected outcome. Legalese is not part of my decoder ring.
Folks in the comments section are confused, as well … saw these comments … hope they’re WRONG …

Any chance of an English translation of the legalese here? What does this mean for the rest of us, the great unwashed, the non-lawyers?

That the first amendment is likely to be eviscerated with the SCOTUS ruling on this case.
😩😡
To put it in layman's terms, the case centered around the government pressuring (coercion) the social media companies to censor speech and ban those who spoke against what our woke government believed and supported.
In other words, restricting speech, the government did not like through the social media companies.
The first court agreed that the government was guilty and had to stop. The decision was appealed, and while on appeal, the first court's decision was put on hold.
If the Supreme Court decides against the government, then the most likely decision is the government will be prevented from forcing social media companies to censor our speech. A VERY GOOD THING!
This can be a very meaningful case.
i don’t understand this either
However, during the Obamacare arguments it seemed the Court would rule against it but they did not.
Listening today, 6-3 decision in favor of Biden administration is my prediction. Hope I am wrong.

A real Bloodbath would be if NYC and Chicago started to give free fried chicken to migrants.
A court *stay” temporarily suspends a lower court order, for or against a pleading, pending Appeal to a next higher court.
I think.
