As is typical in this Court, the judges don't actually render a decision on the matter at hand, but instead engage in a sort of arbitrary process of process. "It just needs to be heard in a different court, start over there and come back to us in a few years when all the research specimens have been destroyed and the case is moot." The actual result is that the administration can just do whatever it wants, since the Court can always develop a process reason to avoid ruling on any case, regardless of the merits.
Even the conservative judges disagree on which court this should be heard in, just that it can't be ruled on now. It's amazing how easily it is to wipe out the redress of the Court system.
My favorite of those is "standing". You take a decade working through the court system, and they all rule in your favor. Then it reaches the top level and they decide, oops, you're not actually the one allowed to sue. And they're not gonna tell you who is; you just have to start over and wait for them to throw it out again.
