"In sum, we do not understand the government to suggest that a congressionally created right can be nullified by government inaction.
Reversed and remanded."

Yes Shoonra. It was remanded (meaning it is open for more litigating. But, because it was reversed (the lower court decision), Would mean that everything is back to square one, and nothing has changed. The statutory right is still in place, and seemingly, the only question in the mind of the court is whether or not 'the attorney general still has authority or was his/her authority stripped when the duties were allegedly transferred to Homeland Security.

So what is the point that you are attempting to stress with this go nowhere case?
