Re: SCOTUS 15: Help Us, Ruth Bader Ginsburg! You're Our Only Hope!
They don't have to grant cert. They can just say the appellate court is correct and Dump can pound sand.
Makes total sense in a case like this. If they don’t issue the stay while the case is pending, then the records would have to be released right away. After that, they can’t very well go back in 6 months and un-ring the bell. Issuing the stay is the only way to keep their options open until they actually hear the case.
