So you’ve seen the SCOTUS order assigning circuits I assume?
That order assigns a SCOTUS justice to each Federal Circuit, to review applications for “emergent relief” before that federal circuit. Essentially the state law analogy would be the SCOTUS justices are “presiding judges” over the Federal Circuit Courts of Appeal
Emergent relief is synonymous with injunctive relief. This includes stays of lower court decisions pending appeal, which is what Lin filed. Traditionally, while on appeal, a lower court decision remains in force, unless an emergent app for leave to appeal is granted (what the 11th just did).
In short, Because Lin’s application was for emergent relief in the 11th cir ct of appeals, and Thomas is the assigned emergent relief judge for that circuit, per the SCOTUS assignment Order, it was likely Thomas who directed the Appellate Clerk to grant Lin’s petition for emergent relief and an expedited appeal, as J. Thomas is presiding over the circuit
When a case is at the door of the Circuit level (several steps in, and one below SCOTUS), SCOTUS can reach down to get involved. Each Circuit has a particular member of SCOTUS assigned to handle such issues. Usually, if the assigned justice does intervene and make any ruling, it indicates other justices are of like mind. (Like Alito did ordering PA to separate late ballots. Spoiler, they didn't. Oops). Clarence Thomas has the 11th Circuit covering GA. Biden was Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee for Thomas's hearing. They gave him the original Kavanaugh treatment. Look up videos of October 11, 1991 hearing. Biden might not remember, but certainly Justice Thomas does. The 11th is speeding up the process. Justice goes brrrrrrrr.
Clarence thomas is the Judge in charge of emergent relief for the 11th. He is likely the one who directed grant of wood’s application
Nice!!
Sex
I think it’s six Trump judges, a GWB, 4 Obama, and a Clinton.
I’m not seeing that... I’m seeing 8 dems - 4 reps on the 11th circuit. Not that it matters since Justice Thomas has oversight though lol

heeheehee ...ima girl so I can laugh like that. heeheehee
Every judicial circuit in the United States has a SCOTUS Justice appointed to it. Georgia is in the 11th Circuit, and Thomas is the Circuit Justice.
When a case is at the door of the Circuit level (several steps in, and one below SCOTUS), SCOTUS can reach down to get involved. Each Circuit has a particular member of SCOTUS assigned to handle such issues. Usually, if the assigned justice does intervene and make any ruling, it indicates other justices are of like mind.
