No-one, including @duketrout, is arguing that it’s procedurally unusual. They’re arguing that this particular meritless case has been given a stay not for routine reasons but for partisan ones by an obviously politicised SCOTUS justice. To say “procedurally this is nothing unusual” distracts from the core problems associated with Thomas blocking the order. All that does is give the fascists a talking point (“what’s the big deal? People with legal expertise who are liberals are saying this is routine!”).
