This is a really poor ruling, in that the upper judiciary is not supposed to interpret the language of laws but their constitutionality. It's been long established by the SCOTUS that it is up to the executive to the interpret law.
The decision itself is also oddball in the chain of the lower court rulings which all favored the opposite.
The full appeals court should scrap this and the SCOTUS won't pick it up.
Was thinking the first part of this when I first got the notification via CNN. I can't possibly see how this decision will stand, but you're right in saying that SCOTUS will leave it be. Not a good ruling at all.
