I haven't heard anything more yet. I just emailed my contact to ask if there's any new information on it, but given the discouraging events in court today, and the information in post 1189, I'm not feeling particularly optimistic.
The man is a coward. He's lived the good life, and he doesn't want to offend anyone; at least not anyone that matters. Unfortunately, his universe of "anyones" that matter seems to be limited to his political opposition, i.e., the pro-death camp, AKA "the left".
This is typical GOP behavior. Pander to the opposition, and kick your supporters in the teeth. I honestly believe there is something pathological driving this need to be "liked" by the liberals. The day the GOP stops trying to prove to the left that "we're really nice guys" will be the day they accomplish something positive.
Until then, their main purpose in life seems to be to make used car dealers look like paragons of virtue.
