Courts - Ginsburg temporarily blocks Chrysler deal [Updated]

So writes Lyle Denniston of SCOTUSBlog, who has been totally on top of all this. But he notes that it was only a "temporary hold":

Her order, however, simply gives her or the full Court more time to ponder whether to postpone it further, or allow it to go forward.

It would have taken the votes of five members of the Court to grant a full postponement.

I expect SCOTUSBlog will post a link to Ginsburg's order shortly.

[More] Denniston has now added: "Ginsburg’s brief, unexplained order said only that the bankruptcy court’s decisions approving the sale were “stayed pending further order” by her or the Court."

[More] Here is the story from the NY Times.

Here is an overview by Tony Mauro at the Blog of Legal Times.

And Mr. Denniston has expanded his SCOTUSBlog entry, plus he has added a link to the Order, such as it is -- i.e. one page, one sentence.
