"The judgment of the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit is affirmed in part and reversed in part. The case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion."
Hmmmmmm. Sounds to me as if the 9th Circuit is authorized to do more than just "look it over".
They are not authorized to do anything other then REVIEW the FINAL DECISION of the USSC. There is a reason why it is called the SUPREME court.
