Makes no sense. Their decision was vacated, and yet they get tot make the final decision?

Because their decision was vacated, the stay pending appeal which they had ordered has to be dissolved as well. The only question was whether they were going to wait for the "mandate" (the Supreme Court's formal order to them to vacate their decision, which will come down in about 25 days), or act on their own.

This is corruption of democracy to the extreme. So, the decision of over 7 million voters are being denied any defense whatsoever?!!
