Pat Harrigan fears \u2018unintended consequences\u2019 of Pentagon\u2019s investment stakes in defense firms<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Solicitor General D. John Sauer petitioned the justices just days after losing in an appeals court.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Sauer said lower courts were premature in stepping in at this point, saying agencies\u2019 plans for carrying out the president\u2019s orders are too preliminary at this point. He asked the justices to allow the planning to proceed while the case develops.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, he said, the president\u2019s opponents will run out the clock and Mr. Trump won\u2019t be able to impose his rules ahead of the 2026 midterm election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis premature injunction imposes serious irreparable harm on the federal government,\u201d Mr. Sauer wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The justices gave the president\u2019s opponents a week to respond.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump\u2019s order had directed Homeland Security to produce citizenship lists for states, which they could use to scour their own rolls for noncitizen names.<\/p>\n<p>He also ordered the Postal Service to come up with standardized envelopes for election mail, and to refuse to deliver election materials that didn\u2019t meet the standard. And the post office would refuse to deliver ballots to names that didn\u2019t appear on states\u2019 lists of approved eligible voters.<\/p>\n<p>Federal agencies were directed to withhold money from states and localities that didn\u2019t cooperate, and the Justice Department was ordered to pursue investigations against violators.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homebuyerrelocation.com\/?p=5074\">Democratic Party\u2019s socialist showdown moves to Detroit<\/a><\/p>\n<p>All of that was blocked by U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee to the court in Massachusetts who has emerged as a frequent legal obstacle for the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p>She said the order \u201cattempts to intimidate local election officials\u201d into doing Mr. Trump\u2019s bidding. She said under the Constitution, states are charged with administering elections, with some standards for federal elections also set by Congress.<\/p>\n<p>The First U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals several days ago sided with Judge Talwani, rejecting Mr. Trump\u2019s request to stay her June ruling.<\/p>\n<p>Federal lawyers offered many of the same arguments in that court that Mr. Sauer raised Monday, saying the case isn\u2019t ripe because the government\u2019s plans aren\u2019t finalized.<\/p>\n<p>The appeals court rejected that, finding states are already having to grapple with the order.<\/p>\n<p>For example, nearly half of the states already had obtained ballot envelopes that wouldn\u2019t have complied with the Postal Service\u2019s standards under Mr. Trump\u2019s order.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe plaintiff states have no practical choice but to respond to the EO now,\u201d the three-judge panel ruled.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homebuyerrelocation.com\/?p=5072\">Trump hails Michigan auto boom, says other nations will no longer \u2018pillage your factories\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Trump asked the Supreme Court Monday to allow him to implement his executive order directing the U.S. Postal Service to police mail-in voting by refusing to deliver ballots to people whose eligibility hasn&#8217;t been verified by the feds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5077,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5078","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
