It is ironic that those who stop their ears and only hear "NOT RIPE!!!" don't even have the stomach to see that the 9th made it clear under what condition it will be ripe..... only after negotiations are complete and a contract is ratified. Aside from the obvious fact that the injunction was dismissed, no longer directing the Nic to be the USAPA proposal, even if USAPA sent out a contract for ratification, sans Nic, even then no injunction would be attainable, because it would still not be ripe. Anyone can sue to their heart's content after ratification, and maybe even win damages. it is not about ripeness now, it is about bargaining. If the courts decide to continue to judicially intervene during bargaining, when the 9th wouldn't even venture there, then they will only multiply the many lawyers who will have more extensions to their already long and prosperous jobs.
