It's a stay until Thursday at 3 pm to allow the House to respond to Trump's request for a longer stay pending the court's consideration of the Trump petition for certiorari. Once the House has had a chance to respond, the Court (or Roberts alone) may or may not issue a further stay pending action on the petition for certiorari.

Here's the relevant language:
IT IS ORDERED that the mandate of the United States Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, case No. 19-5142, is hereby
stayed pending receipt of a response, due on or before Thursday, November
21, 2019, by 3 p.m. ET, and further order of the undersigned or of the Court.

Didn't we already do that in 2000 with Gore-Bush FL recount? KPN Nov 2019 #17
Hold on a sec... PJMcK Nov 2019 #27
I was sure they would not take it HAB911 Nov 2019 #3
Does halting the order mean that the Supreme Court will take it, or skip fox Nov 2019 #8
Yup.... they have yet to decide if they are taking it. Happy Hoosier Nov 2019 #13
don't know, talking heads are chewing it over now, lol HAB911 Nov 2019 #14
It's pretty normal to issue a stay pending appeal jberryhill Nov 2019 #23
They haven't taken or denied it yet. This is a routine action already agreed to by the House, whilst Princess Turandot Nov 2019 #15
Yeah, it would be surprising if they took it. Imperialism Inc. Nov 2019 #21
Personally, I think it would be surprising if they don't take it. onenote Nov 2019 #35
I've heard from some very fair lawyers, that they think the SC will still take the case... cbdo2007 Nov 2019 #32

You need to understand the process PJMcK Nov 2019 #28
Yep, this is routine, don't panic. backscatter712 Nov 2019 #30
Fuck them to hell. Bunch of traitors with Trump. triron Nov 2019 #6
I guessing this is a temporary stay. Nevilledog Nov 2019 #7
Next they will just declare Trump as King. triron Nov 2019 #9
Isn't this standard response to these issues, while they figure out what to do? cbdo2007 Nov 2019 #10
Even going this far? triron Nov 2019 #19
To recap, this is just granting a temporary stay while SCOTUS decides if it will hear the appeal. Princess Turandot Nov 2019 #11
I feel better now. Thanks for the clarification. Guess I can't call them traitors yet. triron Nov 2019 #16
thanks Princess CatWoman Nov 2019 #18

msnbc said it's not a ruling on the merit mucifer Nov 2019 #12
So there is hope this SCOTUS may actually rule based on the "merit"? While I'll remain hopeful, KPN Nov 2019 #20
agreed mucifer Nov 2019 #22
All down to Roberts really. Imperialism Inc. Nov 2019 #25
And maybe Gorsuch. KPN Nov 2019 #26
Everybody calm down! This is not a big deal StarfishSaver Nov 2019 #29
How long do they usually consider the case before taking it up or dropping the stay? jcgoldie Nov 2019 #39
I have no faith in the present Supreme Court. It is built to accept whatever mfcorey1 Nov 2019 #31
I suppose it's too much to ask that folks who don't know anything about SCOTUS procedure onenote Nov 2019 #34
Ah come on man iloveObama12 Nov 2019 #36
Trump gets away with things cause he keeps things tied up in courts until they fade away. Jewls2 Nov 2019 #37
This is a purely administrative order and is not a big deal Gothmog Nov 2019 #38
