7. As a SCOTUS Justice, Alito is assigned to the 5th Circuit districts for "emergency appeals"
Tue Nov 25, 2025, 08:14 AM
Tuesday

so he can decide to put an "Administrative Stay" on some lower court ruling (whether district or appellate), pending further review.

From here (which has a chronological listing of what has been going on) - https://www.scotusblog.com/cases/case-files/abbott-v-league-of-united-latin-american-citizens/

11/21/2025 Order entered by Justice Alito: Upon consideration of the application of counsel for the applicants, it is ordered that the November 18, 2025 order of the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, case No. 3:21-cv-259 is hereby administratively stayed pending further order of the undersigned or of the Court. It is further ordered that a response to the application be filed on or before Monday, November 24, 2025, by 5 p.m. (EST).


And DEFINITELY AGREE that "there is so much going on" and it has been a bear for me to dig through a lot of repetitive stuff filling the news websites to find it! And the media will say "but we reported it", and I'm like - you listed a publication date and time but NO LINK to such an article was anywhere on your website (including subcategories), at or near the so-called "publication" times. Eventually those articles/links bubble up but there is a disconnect between the reporters/editors and their web content management program.
