Supreme Court justices (as in today's Order List) sometimes provide a "statement" and this seems to be what Judge Ho (not the good one) is doing. Decades more of this guy? Sigh.

Yes, I know about statements — and mention that in the list of what this could be.

However, this from Ho is *not* just a statement. He disagrees. The per curiam says, "We express no opinion on the disposition of that motion." He wrote, "The motion for a stay pending appeal should be granted." He very much expressed an opinion on the disposition of that motion.

"dissented in spirit but chose not to actually dissent"

Statements are sometimes disagree-y without actually dissenting.

It is not explicitly stated as anything, as you say, but it comes off to me as a statement-like thing. But, I have no deep opinion on the matter.

I'm honestly not going to debate this. Have a good night, Joe.

Once Trump is disposed of and his SCOTUS dreams die, Ho and his ilk will be chasing the big bucks in the private sector.

That's the dream. Many of these people like being federal judges. Lifetime sinecure with the power to make law.

Every time I read news about these issues I'm just amazed that so much time, effort and legal resources are being wasted on policing DRAG QUEENS. In a society where any adult - or minor - can easily binge watch Ru Paul's Drag Race. When the history of the collapse of this Republic is written, the demise will be the product of such frivolous, intentionally distracting bullshit. And what's Ho's problem? Does he jack off to drag queens and need the government to stop him? What's in HIS closet?

Seriously, tho!! Who the blankity blank did drag queens ever hurt, ffs? And why, pray tell, are some so scared of the mighty power of lip syncing, splashy wigs, heels & clever pseudonyms?

Ho forever acts out the "tRump's ho' " role he so dearly relishes.
