This is procedure, not substance. The Supreme Court has not made any final decision. As the article says, the Supreme Court decided NOT to jump the queue and pull the matter out of the hands of the Ninth Circuit before the Ninth Circuit gets a chance to deal with it.

Ninety percent of the headlines that report on legal procedings involving Trump that blare out “Trump Lost!!!” or “Trump Won!!!” are just way stations on a long road to a final decision.

And therein lies the problem.

Trump had intended to shut down illegal DACA on March 5th. That's 7 days from today.

The 9th circus probably won't rule on the issue until after the mid-terms.

So SCOTUS effectively told the executive branch, it has no power to decide when an (illegal) executive order can end...the 9th circus will determine the timeline.
