SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES No. 25A914 NICOLE MALLIOTAKIS, ET AL. v. MICHAEL WILLIAMS, ET AL. ON APPLICATION FOR STAY No. 25A915 PETER KOSINSKI, ET AL. v. MICHAEL WILLIAMS, ET AL. ON APPLICATION FOR STAY [March 2, 2026] The applications for stay presented to JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR and by her referred to the Court are granted. The January 21, 2026 order entered by the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, Index No. 164002/2025, is stayed pending the disposition of the appeal in the New York state courts and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari in this Court, 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 issuance of the mandate of this Court.

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, with whom JUSTICE KAGAN and JUSTICE JACKSON join, dissenting from grant of stay. The Court's 101-word unexplained order can be summarized in just 7: "Rules for thee, but not for me." Time and again, this Court has said that federal courts have limited jurisdiction. Time and again, this Court has said that federal courts should not interfere with state-court litigation. Time and again, this Court has said that federal courts should not meddle with state election laws ahead of an elec-tion. Today, the Court says: except for this one, except for this one, and except for this one. Ignoring every limit on federal courts' authority, the Court takes the unprecedented step of staying a state trial court's decision in a re-districting dispute on matters of state law without giving the State's highest court a chance to act. Because that order violates basic principles of jurisdiction, federalism, and equity, I respectfully dissent.

US not veering into a new, endless war, Pentagon says The Pentagon played down concerns on Monday that the U.S. attack on Iran risked plunging the United States into a new, open-ended conflict in the Middle ​East, even as officials declined to offer a timeline and cautioned they expected more U.S. casualties.

I think so, along with Gabbard. I don’t recognize the other two.

Incredibly funny photo, constitutionally speaking. Maybe he’s getting briefed on how to break a tie in the Senate.

I watched Battlefield Earth this weekend. Pretty bad as expected, but I hadn’t expected it to be (for lack of better terminology) overtly racist towards humans?

Incredible. Kalshi is not paying out "Khamenei out of power by [date]" contracts because he died.

To the extent that Trump is more interventionist this term, it’s because he’s surrounded by advisors and Cabinet members who encourage his worst impulses instead of trying to redirect them. The impulses didn’t change.

NEW: Four federal judges have formed a firewall against ICE in West Virginia — and say they’ll punish state and federal officials of they continue detaining people in ways they have ruled illegal and unconstitutional.

Mine is A View To A Kill but 90 percent of that might be Duran Duran and Bay Area nostalgia.

The Iraq War AUMF vote destroyed multiple political careers and, via Hillary Clinton, helped decide at least two presidential elections. Congress’s big takeaway from that experience was to stop holding votes on wars.

The judges in WV have seen enough.

They say that if the ICE continues detaining people in ways they have unanimously deemed illegal they will start issuing civil fines and contempt findings — including against state officials who help them carry it out.

They’re requested all the time, but never granted. With a 6-3 majority behind the ruling, there aren’t even enough dissenting justices to force it if they wanted. (And I would be stunned if they did.)

SCOTUS does have a mechanism for this but they haven’t used it since 1965. None of the current justices have even served with a justice who’s used it.
