Itās been six days since Chief Justice Robertsās āadministrativeā stay in the foreign aid cases. That almost certainly means (1) someoneās dissenting; (2) the Court is trying to reach a compromise; or (3) both. Hard to be sure which it is, but the continuing pause is itself producing plenty of harm.
