C: Gets a fact wrong.

• Gets a fact wrong (minus 24 points): 'Justice Elena Kagan denied the appeal on the eve of the midterm elections without comment, and did not refer it to the other justices.' Kagan referred it to the full Court: the Court's Nov. 2 order list says 'The application for injunction pending appeal presented to Justice Kagan and by her referred to the Court is denied' (No. 26A624); SCOTUSblog: 'Kagan then referred it to the full court'

Splits: Article: the denial, the DOJ's filing, the 9th Circuit dissent, California's objections and Judge Boasberg's injunction
