> Republicans who brought the lawsuit had asked the justices to side with them but to stay their ruling for about a week so legislators and Evers could work out a new plan to deal with the pandemic.

> The justices declined to do that and had their ruling take effect immediately.

This is ignoring reality in favor of principle||partisan positioning (choose your preference).

Nothing rational or legally sound in throwing the situation into chaos.

Yikes, I didn't know they did that. That sucks, and is more indefensible.. there's no rational reason why the court shouldn't grant a stay when even the plaintiffs want it.

Did the court justify their decision in denying the stay?
