It's not as bad as you say. The Supreme Court sent the case back to the District Court with instructions to formulate a more specific order and with attention to the timing of payments. While the judge is working on that, the government is not obliged to pay anything. When the judge issues a new order, the government will appeal and this time the appellate courts will have more grist for the judicial mill.
Someone on X posted that it wasn't as bad as all that, that the case had merely been sent back down to a lower court for further modification.
