I think this line's mostly filler.

"on hold" is not the end.

Basically what you have said is that she made a decision, but not a ruling.

Bruce called it semantics. I agreed.
Calling a preliminary injunction and the striking down of a law as unconstitutional semanically equivalent is silly.

Option 1: contested portions of the law can't take effect until both sides have a chance to make their case
Option 2: rule for the plaintiff without hearing the case.

The difference between those options is not semantic.
