Yeah, I'm pretty sure only the Supreme Court can issue stays...

     I am inclined to agree. Unless the Supreme Court specifically injoins enforcement, nullifying a federal law is dicey legal ground, and potentially grounds for the Emperor to be prosecuted for treason.

     I understand the importance of such a gesture, I just don't think it would be good to potentially condemn a sympathetic Atlasian. If I may suggest an alteration, perhaps involving more people in the process would be potentially useful. I do not suppose that it would be so easy to prosecute people for treason if there were, say, five culpable parties rather than just one. At that point, there are serious concerns about axing a significant portion of the active electorate.
