Also, since the DC Circuit ruling has been stayed pending the Supreme Court's decision on whether to hear the case, there is no "Nirvana" on the ground in DC that the Supremes have upset.
No matter how strongly you believe that the right answer to some legal question is so clear that no one could think otherwise, people are obeying the court rulings in their own areas, by and large, until the Supreme Court rules. Leaving things in limbo is not a good option -- especially for those living in the 9th Circuit.
Duly noted.
I haven’t studied the 9th circuit decision yet.
