I don’t know how much of a win it is. There is no guarantee that the 3rd Circuit isn’t going to toss this suit as well. Usually if a lower court dismisses a suit with prejudice then the reasons for the dismissal will apply at the appeals level as well.

Look at it all as part of the procedure to get it to SCOTUS. That’s the endgame.
How often has the Supreme Court taken up a case that was dismissed at all the lower levels in the appeal? This is not a instance where the district court last week found for the defense and against Trump. Where the appeals court would be expected to rule on whether that decision was correct. In this case the district court threw the matter out completely, dismissed with prejudice. So if the 3rd Circuit throws it out for the same reasons I just don't see the Supreme Court taking it up.
