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

By the way, Alito was appointed by George W. Bush. matched

Justice Thomas was appointed by George H.W. matched

Bush. matched

That's how far back that goes. matched

And here's what they say. matched

The court incorrectly denies the government's application for a stay of a universal injunction that bars implementation of a final rule concerning election ballot mail. matched

Some of the plaintiffs lack standing, while the remainder are pursuing a claim that this court has recently called a Hail Mary pass that rarely succeeds. matched

The government has made the showing necessary for a stay, so I respectfully dissent. matched

Some five months ago, Donald Trump issued an internal directive to his subordinates mandating, among other things, that the United States Postal Service initiate a proposed rulemaking regarding election ballot mail. matched

Just days after the president's directive issued, numerous organizations and groups of states led by California sued in the district of Massachusetts. matched

The district court entered a series of injunctions blocking implementation of the directive. matched

This court eventually stayed one of the injunctions because the district court lacked... matched

Likely lacked jurisdiction because the suit was premature. matched

Remember that ruling from a few weeks back where the Supreme Court ruled that there was no standing or justiciability because the Postal Service rule had not been implemented yet. matched

And thus, there was no injury that the states and plaintiffs face. matched

The rule had to be implemented. matched

for the lawsuit to proceed so when the rule was implemented then these states and these groups filed suit because then there was just disability by the way i believe there was just disability anyway right i mean as i an example i've given if you're someone who in the past threatens to shoot people in the face then you shoot them in the face all the time then you threaten to shoot somebody else in the face and they sue you to block you from shooting them in the face matched

the court shouldn't say, let's wait until you get shot in the face, then you have your injury. matched

As I argued, and as the states argued, the states were injured by the very process of the Postal Service rulemaking, because no matter what the rule did, it would injure the state's control over elections, matched

Because the Constitution provides that states control the time, place, and manner of elections, not the feds. matched
