Okay, at risk of beating the dead horse, let me see if I understand the effect of the result of this case:
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING CHANGES.
So, this ruling wasn't a "win" at all, it was a "go back to the low court and argue some more".
If I am wrong, and this is in fact a win, then WHEN (WHEN?!) will it take practical effect? And how will we know? 6'oclock new story? ?
What is the actual path to freedom from this decision?
This win > re-argue at lower court > win/lose > more appeals at 9th?
or
This win > State appeals en banc and loses > then freedom?
or
This win > State appeals en banc and wins > Young/Beck goes to SCOTUS > probably win?
or
some other convoluted path?
