This was the second Trump administration's first appeal to the Supreme Court in its many pending legal challenges. The Court said it would not interfere with a lower court decision, which temporarily blocked the firing of Hampton Dellinger, until Feb. 26, which is when the lower court's ruling is set to expire. Because of the short timing, the high court said it would hold the matter in abeyance, or suspension, for now.
