The Sixth Circuit has issued a stay pending appeal of Judge Taylor’s order requiring the government to shut down the NSA domestic surveillance program. I think it’s hard to read too much into that, although note that the Sixth Circuit standards do incorporate one aspect of the merits: the stay indicates that this particular panel thought that DOJ had raised at least “serious questions” about the correctness of Judge Taylor’s order shutting down the program.
