and essentially says, very nice you ruled against us, Supreme Court, but in the meantime, the rule has essentially gone into effect and your ruling doesn't mean very much.
And that seems to drive the Chief Justice crazy.
He concludes at the end of the memo, the absence of a stay in that Mercury case allowed the agency to effectively implement an important program we held to be contrary to law.
And you have the sense that he's peeved, he's irked, and he's not going to let it happen again.

Right.
So he's saying, let it play out.
He doesn't understand what the rush is.
