Jul 23 2025 | Application (25A11) referred to the Court. |
Jul 23 2025 | Application (25A11) for stay presented to The Chief Justice and by him referred to the Court is granted. The application is squarely controlled by Trump v. Wilcox, 605 U. S. ___ (2025). Although our interim orders are not conclusive as to the merits, they inform how a court should exercise its equitable discretion in like cases. The stay we issued in Wilcox reflected “our judgment that the Government faces greater risk of harm from an order allowing a removed officer to continue exercising the executive power than a wrongfully removed officer faces from being unable to perform her statutory duty.” Ibid. (slip op., at 1). The same is true on the facts presented here, where the Consumer Product Safety Commission exercises executive power in a similar manner as the National Labor Relations Board, and the case does not otherwise differ from Wilcox in any pertinent respect. The June 13, 2025, order of the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, No. 8:25–cv–01628, ECF Doc. 25, is stayed pending the disposition of the appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari, if such a writ is timely sought. Should certiorari be denied, this stay shall terminate automatically. In the event certiorari is granted, the stay shall terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of the Court. Justice Kavanaugh concurs. (Detached Opinion). Justice Kagan, joined by Justice Sotomayor and Justice Jackson, dissents. (Detached Opinion) |
