But as you said, the rules that are directed by the EO haven't yet been promulgated.

So that is sort of the strangeness of the posture right now.

Okay, so district court says, notwithstanding the fact the rules are not there,

This is already burdening the states.

You know, there is a controversy here.

They're standing here.

We can enjoin, at least for this election cycle, the implementation of these new rules.

The appeals court declined to stay that district court order.

And I was going to ask, what did the administration do then?

But of course, that's a rhetorical question, because what it always does is it runs to SCOTUS to ask SCOTUS to bail it out.

And that's what it did with the application that it filed.

But as we were just sort of alluding to, the application actually isn't

squarely about the underlying legality of the executive order right or about the president's authority to make these sweeping changes to federal elections it's mostly an argument that the suit is premature so can you elaborate a little bit on that

So you did say, I think, Rick, initially that you wouldn't be that surprised if the court does stay the district court injunction, which would be, even if not

a sign that ultimately they're going to be able to implement these crazy provisions for November, that at least for now they can move forward.

And what does that mean in terms of the burden on states to begin to think about how they would come into compliance if the Supreme Court does allow the implementation of this order before November?

It seems insane to contemplate, but I think we have to.

Right.

And I had the same thought.

It does feel like they are running that playbook again, coming up to the Supreme Court with a basically purely procedural argument that doesn't really focus on the substantive issues.
