The order will allow the rest of the Supremes to consider whether they should even hear the Trump appeal.
It is -- by its nature -- unreasoned and summary. Even so, it does not indicate a specific time by which it would expire if the Supreme Court doesn't otherwise take the case.
As I've said before, I expect that the Supremes will rebuff Tangerine 2.0 here. Here is the esteemed Amy Howe, on it all:
. . .Chief Justice John Roberts issued a temporary order, known as an administrative stay, that kept Leon’s order on hold to give the justices more time to consider the Trump administration’s request to pause it.
The brief, one-sentence stay did not indicate when the justices might act on the government’s request. . . .
I honestly don't think justice Roberts was playing politics here. . . I think he simply wants the rest of the court to back him when they do dismiss it -- and gathering their reasoned views (during recess, to boot) will take more than a few minutes.
