Original Note:
Justice Alito is the circuit justice for the 5th Circuit (TX, MS, LA), where the lawsuit was filed. https://www.supremecourt.gov/about/circuitassignments.aspx I.e., he is the one who decides emergency requests in cases in Texas. https://www.scotusblog.com/2018/10/court-issues-new-circuit-assignments/ Alito didn’t grant the injunction sought by Powell. He sent it to the full court, which denied it 9-0. https://reason.com/volokh/2020/12/11/supreme-court-unanimously-denies-texas-emergency-relief-refuses-to-grant-motion-for-leave-to-file/
