BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday refused, without explanation, to stop Mississippi from being able to enforce its restrictive internet-access law.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote to say that, although the challengers showed that the law, Mississippi House Bill 1126 (2024), is likely unconstitutional “under this Court’s precedents,” he nonetheless voted to allow Mississippi to enforce it.

Only repeating the legal rule for his reasoning, Kavanaugh wrote that the challengers had “not sufficiently demonstrated that the balance of harms and equities favors [them] at this time.“ He did not actually provide any analysis of why he believed the challengers failed those parts of the test for relief.

As an application, justices did not need to announce their vote — but, aside from Kavanaugh, no other justices wrote a word and no justices announced that they dissented from the order.
