If I had known that the circuit courts did not have jurisprudential precedence over state courts within the same circuit, then I would have predicted that. So my lack of prediction here is due to lack of knowledge more than anything else.

Of course, this means the California state courts are going to claim the same thing with respect to 9th circuit rulings. What remains to be seen is what the executive branches actually do.
