Mike Sacks - [Justice Jackson] threaded the needle thanks to CA1's unfinished business. 🧵 [View all]

KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business.
-if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her.
-if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet.
-instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.
Of course the Roberts et al could choose to extend the admin stay or, more likely, will just straight up stay McConnell’s order before KBJ’s deadline passes.
But she did what she could to control the process tonight and let CA1 put its reasoning on the record before Roberts et al disregard it.
