61. But the previous rulings were to allow the process to continue while considering the underlying merits

Once that was done, they did their final ruling.

It's just like the SCOTUS denying stays and allowing a process to continue until they get all the arguments before them, and finally decide what to do next, e.g. remand to a lower court or deciding to strike certain parts but agreeing to others. I didn't read the ruling (it's often harder to get copies of state court rulings versus federal and yesterday had a huge news dump of a bunch of stories, so it was a struggle to keep track).
