After three years on the "interim" docket, Hamburger Mary will no longer be able to show "adult live performances" to minors.

Justice Kavanaugh has used the phrase "interim docket" to refer to the Supreme Court's emergency rulings, as they often set the interim rule while the issue percolates in the lower courts.

A Florida law prohibited restaurants from showing "adult live performances." A federal district court judge issued a universal injunction against the law that applied to the plaintiff, Hamburger Mary's, as well as non-parties.

Back in October 2023, Florida asked the Supreme Court to limit the injunction to Hamburger Mary's.

Still, no matter how certain we may be that the district court erred in the scope of its injunction, we should not say so.

The wording urges a conclusion or action rather than only describing the reported facts. Its weight is reduced because this article is identified as opinion.

Useful context, not penalties

Opinion format 1
Argumentative wording is expected in this format, so narrator-voice and decision-pressure cues receive reduced weight.
Attributed claims 1
Attribution helps readers distinguish a source's claim from the article narrator's own assertion.

Ultimately, Kavanaugh said "this Court is not likely to grant certiorari on the only issue presented in Florida's stay application." I suppose that finely-parsed statement about cert-worthiness was true, but the issue remained alive.
Uncertainty qualifiers 1
Qualifiers such as may, might, or reportedly are disclosed as technique but do not add framing-risk points by themselves.

He wrote, "This case is therefore an imperfect vehicle for considering the general question of whether a district court may enjoin a government from enforcing a law against non-parties to the litigation." (I'm sure the parents of children in Florida exposed to drag were comforted by this vehicle problem.) Kavanaugh went further to explain that this issue was "distinct" from the set aside function under APA 706.
