An appeals court had ruled only the federal government can sue to enforce a key provision of the landmark Voting Rights Act, contrary to decades of precedent.

The decision grants an application brought by Native American tribes, putting on hold the decision by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh had temporarily blocked the lower court ruling a day before it was due to go into effect, giving the justices more time to decide what next steps to take.
