What an emergency injunction is
This is a request to for the court to something necessary without the case being heard yet.
For example,
If you were denied asylum by a judge, and your deportation is in a week.
You can appeal your case decision to an appellate judge, but the appellate judge can only schedule your hearing in a month
You would request an emergency injunction on a stay on your deportations, so that you can still be here in a month to argue your case
Judge approves emergency injunction for this reason.
This is not an approval or denial of asylum case.
The person still needs to argue his case and then the appellate judge would approve or deny.
On the contrary, if your deportation was actually 2 months from now, the appeal judge would deny it because it is irrelevant
This is what happened in this case
PA GOP requested an emergency injunction that SCOTUS decertified election, but SCOTUS ruled that certification is irrelevant.
PA Case continues, and they still have to argue thier case to the SCOTUS if scotus takes it on.
Is SCOTUS saying PA certification of the election is 'irrelevant'? Or irrelevant to the court?
