Odd, I thought the Federal judicial code no longer allows for writs of mandamus, yet the article asserts the SCOTUS issued an order for her to perform a duty, which is a writ of mandamus, even if not so called.

The Supreme Court did nothing except deny a stay. The district judge issued an injunction. (And yes, writs of mandamus are still used in the federal courts, but generally only by the appellate courts.)

Then the article wrongly asserts that the Supreme Court issued an order.
