SCOTUS tosses one of two injunctions against Trump USPS mail
The US Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that states lack standing to challenge Trump's executive order directing USPS to build mail-in ballot 'State Citizenship Lists'.
The Supreme Court's 6-3 decision dismissed one of two lawsuits by California and 23 other states seeking to block USPS regulation changes tied to a White House executive order, finding the claimed harm speculative because the order is an internal executive branch directive. USPS regulations remain blocked under a separate Massachusetts injunction, though USPS moved to finalize the rules. Liberal justices Kagan, Sotomayor and Jackson dissented in two opinions arguing the states' injuries were concrete and imminent.
- Court said states cannot prove concrete harm from internal executive directives
- A separate federal injunction in Massachusetts still blocks the USPS regulations
- Dissents argued the ruling merely postpones adjudication of constitutional questions
