If that sounds confusing, it's because the release is. It says, "A declaratory judgment is a pronouncement by the court of what the law is…declaratory judgments bind the parties to the proceedings in which they are made, including government." Good. So, then - by the Bar's reading, government should have been bound by the Court of Appeals judgment without an enforcement order, right?

Well, not so fast. The release then goes on to say: "The full extent and effect of the rights and obligations imposed or conferred by a declaratory judgment, when in dispute are for the courts to determine." This one was in dispute, so then it should have been taken to the courts, then? And then after taking us to law school for dummies, and in so doing oscillating more than a fan on high on a steamy summer day, the release closes by saying, quote "With regard to the disputes arising from the recent Court of Appeals judgment…there are differing opinions on the full extent of the legal rights and obligations conferred by the judgment and we expect that those differences will in due course be resolved in accordance with the law…"
