Before going further, does this X posting have any validity???
I have not seen other news about this 9th circuit ruling.
No, it doesn’t. https://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2024/06/07/22-55908.pdf
The court made no ruling on that - the only place it is even mentioned is where they are summarizing what was stated in the filings by both sides. The only thing ruled upon was the obviously bogus contention it was moot as the basis for dismissal because they ended the mandate after litigation, not before.
