From what I read, it's not so much a case of upholding the ban as it was dismissing a case that was probably presented in a weak and ineffective manner.

It wasn't a ruling on the ordinance per se. The court had previously ruled the ordinance was constitutional. Two guys tried to challenge that ruling but the three judge panel found that the plaintiffs were not presenting any new arguments so the case was dismissed, that's all.

He's got what, 150 or so judges confirmed so far? Do you think every one is going to rule in a way you think they should 100% of the time on every issue? Give me a break.

If most of them do, most of the time, seems like a success to me.
