"Justice Sotomayor, in dissent, contended that the New York courts could settle this matter quickly: 'In short, there is every reason to think that the New York courts will fully, swiftly, and prudently resolve this case before the primary election.'"
"Justice Alito responded that the dissent 'demands that we wait until the completion of a series of events that would likely run out the clock before we could review the order.'"
"The Supreme Court's stay was final, and as a result, the lower court will never have a shot to review it."
The Supreme Court granted an emergency stay in the Staten Island redistricting case, effectively concluding it before the midterm elections. The lower court's ruling was stayed without reasoning, leading to a stipulation for dismissal with prejudice. Justice Sotomayor argued that New York courts could resolve the matter quickly, while Justice Alito contended that the dissent's approach would delay review. The stay issued by the Supreme Court ultimately prevented any further litigation in the case.
