Staying the mandate on Solomon

Last Friday, while I was in Florida for the ABA Forum on Communication Law's 10th annual meeting, the Acting Solicitor General asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit to stay its mandate in the Solomon Amendment case. If the motion is granted, a preliminary injunction would not yet issue and the Solomon Amendment would remain in effect. The government stated in its motion that it intends to seek a writ of certiorari in the United States Supreme Court.
