Note that the court is not actually being asked to rule on the full merits of the legality of the executive order and USPS rules. That's a long way away.
Rather, this is "just" a procedural matter, but a critically important one. The lower court issued a preliminary injunction against the USPS enforcing the new rules while the case proceeds. The Supreme Court was asked (by the USPS) to overturn that injunction so the rules can take effect for the midterms.

So the Court's next ruling here (which could come at any time) will effectively decide whether the new rules will apply to *this* election. But whichever way the Court rules now, the lower court (and, surely, eventually the Supreme Court) will later hear the full case and make a final ruling on the legality of the EO and USPS rules. But that won't be for a while. @heidilifeldman@mastodon.social
