KAVANAUGH, J., concurring
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 26A305
UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE, ET AL. v.
CALIFORNIA, ET AL.
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
[September 14, 2026]
JUSTICE KAVANAUGH, concurring.
In my view, based on the briefing the Court has received
at this interim stage, there is at least a fair prospect that
the final rule falls within the Postal Service's statutory
authority. See 39 U. S. C. §401(2). But applying the rule
in the 2026 elections would be arbitrary and capricious in
violation of the Administrative Procedure Act because state
and local election officials do not have sufficient time to
reasonably implement the rule before the elections. See 39
U. S. C. §3001(m); 5 U. S. C. §706(2)(A). For that reason, I
concur in the denial of the application for stay.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vgyrgeqr7kkjjwggdinod6bb/bafkreibojozzzm2nqwhvrorx7c726sw5vpcr3p7vo5ma2rrjhi3agf6roq)
