How is that possible?

State Supreme Courts are not in line about a Federal District Court. It would have to go to a higher Federal Court.

Right?

No, they can't overturn it but they can interpret and apply state law separately -- they have issued an order to the Secretary of State to enforce the law on the books by allowing challengers. My understanding was that a separate appeal from the Dlott decision was taken to the Sixth Circuit which is reviewing it solely on briefs (no oral argument) and stated it would issue a decision by midnite tonite. The Ohio State Supreme Court's interpretation and order makes it much harder for them NOT to reverse the district judge's bizarre adverse ruling which I understand overturned 100 years of law in Ohio.

No.

Since this is SC of Ohio, it rules until another challenge is made to this ruling.

It may be possible for that other Federal Court to rule on this, as well, but I don't see how it is ripe for a challenge until an appeal of this ruling is filed.

I could be wrong, but I believe this is a victory.
