The Trump administration has urged the Supreme Court to promptly rule on its emergency request to implement Trump's executive order on mail-in voting, after 23 states and D.C. sued to block it and asked the justices to deny the administration's application. Twelve other states have filed their own request backing the administration's push.

Elsewhere on the docket, Apple asked the Court to pause proceedings in its App Store contempt fight after a federal judge refused to halt enforcement of a 27% commission ruling; Justice Kagan issued a one-day administrative stay. The Court also agreed to hear a zoning dispute over a Cleveland-area rabbi's home prayer sessions, and lawsuits alleging racial profiling in immigration arrests continue working through lower courts following the Court's earlier decision permitting broader stops in Los Angeles.

In an unrelated emergency filing, attorneys sought to halt the euthanasia of a dog named Bruce pending appeal; the Court did not act before Ventura County put him down.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
An administration that wants speed from the judiciary when it suits an election deadline is the same one content to let profiling lawsuits crawl through lower courts for years — consistency, it turns out, is not the priority. The Court, meanwhile, keeps discovering it can move fast for cable commissions and mail ballots but not quite fast enough for a dog.
