President Trump’s Solicitor General just put the Supreme Court on the clock. If the justices do not act this week, thousands of unsecured mail-in ballots will already be in the postal system, and there will be no way to pull them back.In an emergency stay application filed over the weekend in United States Postal Service v. California (No. 26A305), Solicitor General D. John Sauer told the Court the window is slamming shut.“Ballots have already begun to be mailed in North Carolina, and more States will begin the mailing process as the injunction remains in place—including Alabama on September 9 and at least five States the week of September 13,” Sauer wrote. “Once those ballot envelopes enter the mailstream, there is no retrieving them.”North Carolina started sending absentee ballots last Friday. Alabama is scheduled to start Wednesday. A cluster of additional states, including several that matter in November, begin the week of September 13.

A ruling could come the same week. It needs to.As The Gateway Pundit first reported in June, Postmaster General David Steiner told Congress under oath that USPS will not deliver mail-in ballots for states that refuse to comply. When Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) asked whether the Postal Service would still mail ballots if a state withheld its list, Steiner answered: “Under our proposed regulation, no.”The Radical Left immediately ran to Judge Indira Talwani in Boston. She has now blocked, lifted, re-blocked, and re-extended the same policy multiple times. The Supreme Court already slapped down one of her nationwide injunctions on August 24 in Trump v. California, holding that the states sued too early. Talwani then waited for the final rule, slapped on a 14-day TRO, converted it into a preliminary injunction on September 4, and forced Sauer back to the high court.The Gateway Pundit documented each turn: Talwani folding after the August 24 rebuke, the far-left nonprofits racing back to her courtroom within hours, and her decision last week to extend the block even as North Carolina’s envelopes were already leaving the building.The post Solicitor General John Sauer Warns Supreme Court — “Once These Ballot Envelopes Enter the Mail Stream, THERE IS NO RETRIEVING THEM” appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
