Forgive me if this has been discussed before, but how did the 6th circuit override the 5th? How can one court have power over another? That just didn't seem right to me. I'm bringing this up because my employer seems to be moving forward with mask mandates starting on the 10th even though the Supreme Court is hearing arguments on the 7th of January.

Do you pedes think that the Supreme Court will issue a halt to the mandates on the day of while they take however long to decide on issue?
