Anyone know why only temporarily? Does the SCOTUS need a full hearing before making a final decision?
Hi AM -
It looks as though it is temporary to allow the politicians a chance to respond. In other words, the “stay” was given without hearing all sides. See the full story link I posted. It is interesting to me to see the scramble to see if it diverts the Impeachment Inquiry.
The stay was granted by John Roberts; this is not unusual; what happens now is that the request for a writ of certiorari and a further stay is being circulated to the other members of the court; they presumably will rule on whether the Supreme Court will hear the appeal within 10 days.
