We remain on watch for a ruling from the Supremes — as Mr. Biden has asked for a quick stop on all Doughty’s nonsense, at the Supremes — after the Fifth upheld only a tiny part (under 1/10^th of it) of Doughty’s supposed injunction.

But as of 1:30 PM CDT, this afternoon in Cincy, the Fifth struck its own opinion on the matter, sua sponte — all while leaving in place its own stay of any effectiveness, for Doughty’s July 4 lunacy:

…10/03/2023 266 OPINION WITHDRAWN. [239], [238] [23-30445] (NFD) [Entered: 10/03/2023 01:20 PM]….

This is an ominous sign — the full Fifth Cir. intends to rehear the case — and with an essentially endless stay there, and one likely to be entered in the Supremes… Doughty is about to be schooled, by his betters.

Couldn’t happen to a… denser supposed federal jurist.
