The article stated that Judge Benitez’ ruling was well-reasoned and comprehensive, so that it has an optimal chance of standing.

I'm not being negative, just realistic. I've been living in the 9th Circus for a long time. Ruling after ruling, we see Judges give us favorable, well reasoned rulings that appear to restore our rights, only to have the 9th reverse, then SCOTUS refuse to hear the appeal. One time, in Peruta v Gore, we even got a favorable ruling from the 9th, in the form of a 3-Judge Panel. Of course the case was reviewed en banc and reversed by the 9th, then refused appeal by SCOTUS. Only Thomas and Gorsuch voted with us. This cycle has been going for decades. It's like Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown. I would LOVE to be wrong here, but this case will follow the same path as those before it.
