In a scathing dissent, Justice Jackson, joined by Justices Sotomayor and Kagan, wrote: "The Court focuses only on the harms the Government will purportedly suffer absent a stay, disregarding the harms that the modified SAVE system has caused, and will likely continue to cause, to lawful voters."

“Nichols’ ruling went further than Talwani’s. While her order barred USPS from compelling states to comply with the new postal rule, Nichols — whom Trump nominated in 2018 - said states complying with the mail voting order, even voluntarily, would “create even more confusion and misunderstanding.”

Among other things, this means that, even if #SCOTUS *grants* a stay of Judge Talwani’s earlier injunction against the USPS rule (which seems increasingly unlikely), the rule would *still* not go into effect; the Court would have to freeze *this* injunction, too.
