Good decision.
What's sad about this article is that even though I've read over at least 4, maybe 5, articles from (or based on) mainstream news sources, this is the first I've seen that: explained, understandably, what the rule required; mentioned that the decision was by a 3-judge panel, not the full 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. That latter fact means that PP's next appeal - they won't accept defeat - will be to the full 9th, after which the case will almost certainly be appealed to the USSC.
