The MeidasTouch Podcast · BREAKING: Supreme Court Blocks Trump Mail-In Ballot Scheme · 15 Sep 2026 podcast

i released the video ultimately before the ruling was made so if you were watching that video and you were like okay i get it the supreme court is warning about uh that they're going to try to enforce states rights over donald trump trying to have his own rule with the postal service that infringes on the state time place and manner uh rights under the united states constitution matched

I released that video and then five minutes later, the Supreme Court made this ruling. matched

Now, the Supreme Court's ruling was a seven to two decision. matched

There were two dissents. matched

You had Justice Thomas in the dissent along with Justice Alito. matched

In the majority, you had Justice Kavanaugh, a Trump appointee, although Justice Kavanaugh said, matched

there may be a fair prospect that in the future a rule that trump wants to implement may be something that could happen but we're too close to the 2026 midterm elections so i'm gonna side with the majority but even if you put kavanaugh in the group with uh alito and thomas matched

that would still make it a six to three decision right with justice coney barrett and justice roberts joining the three liberal justices right katonji brown jackson uh kagan and sotomayor so you would have them along with justice roberts along with uh amy coney barrett matched

So you would still ultimately be able to have a majority in the future if Trump tries to implement this rule in 2028. matched

Let's take a look right now at this order so we can look at it for ourselves. matched

In the Supreme Court of the United States, the application for stay presented to Justice Jackson and by her referred to the court is denied. matched

The government is unlikely to succeed on the merits of its challenge to the district court's preliminary injunction. matched

Remember, there was the district court preliminary injunction in Massachusetts, Judge Telwani, and then earlier this morning, a district court injunction blocking the Trump Postal Service rule in D.C. matched

That was the Trump-appointed judge, Judge Carl Nichols. matched

and the equitable factors applicable for obtaining emergency relief from this court do not favor a stay. matched

Justice Kavanaugh said, in my view, based on the briefing the court has received at this interim stage, there is at least a fair prospect matched

that the final rule falls within the Postal Service statutory authority. matched

But applying the rule in the 2026 election would be arbitrary and capricious in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act because state and local election officials do not have sufficient time to reasonably implement the rule matched

before the election. matched

For that reason, I concur in the denial of the application for stay, but only Justice Kavanaugh said that. matched
