US Supreme Court Issues Decision on Stay of Injunction
Today, January 23, 2025, the US Supreme Court issued its decision on the application of the DOJ for a stay of the nationwide injunction in the Texas Cop Shop case out of the 5th Circuit.
Application (24A653) for stay presented to Justice Alito and by him referred to the Court is granted. The December 5, 2024 amended order of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, case No. 4:24–cv–478, is stayed pending the disposition of the appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari, if such a writ is timely sought. Should certiorari be denied, this stay shall terminate automatically. In the event certiorari is granted, the stay shall terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of this Court. Justice Gorsuch concurring in the grant of stay. Justice Jackson dissenting in the grant of stay.
Reporting under the CTA is back on …… again.
The case goes back to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals for oral argument set for March, 2025.
Justice Jackson, appointed by President Biden, in her dissent said that the government hadn’t shown “sufficient exigency,” and she also noted that the 5th Circuit has already fast tracked the matter for hearing. She was critical of the government for its delay in implementing the CTA for four years already and then coming to the court claiming that the government would suffer serious harm by further delay without court involvement.
