The Supreme Court on Monday lifted an injunction on an executive order that would create citizenship lists to control who can vote and give the federal government control over who receives a ballot. But another injunction keeps the order blocked, for now.
The three liberal justices dissented.
The unsigned majority wrote that the states that are suing the government lack standing, and that the time isn’t ripe for their lawsuit. They argued that the injury to the states is too tenuous — premised on actions the Homeland Security secretary may take in the future in response to the order.
“Article III prohibits federal courts from stacking hypothetical on hypothetical to speculate that harm will eventually materialize,” they wrote.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
