That is what I thought until reading the suit was filed in San Fransisco. It wouldn't be surprising to see them win in San Fransisco before it gets thrown out by the Supreme Court.

It was filed in San Francisco because that's where the ninth (?!) circuit court is located, which would cover Alaska.

That said, I agree with you - they're known for making all sorts of wacky rulings that are later tossed out.
