9th circuit upheld a majority of the lower courts decision and tossed out a few things including but not limited to plantiff attorney fees and some penalties to be paid to the plaintiff from Virgin (AK).

Alaska's legal team appealed that, and SCOTUS elected to not take the case. So it's actually settled law. I'm sure there will be filings and motions around the edges, but from what I understand. It's done. If the Supreme Court does not take a case that's made it all the way up to them... it's over.

It's worth knowing too that when they appealed the case to SCOTUS, numerous states filed motions (I know there is a more accurate term for this but again, not a lawyer) to go along with the appeal to try to argue for or against SCOTUS taking the case. Also, the US Solicitor General filed brief/motion/whatever in kind.

There is a lot behind this.

Aside from that, I would not be surprised if a legislative solution cannot be found. The Robert's court seemed to like throwing things back to the states these days.
