Unwilling to concede defeat, [[NOW]] appealed to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals to undo the Supreme Court's mandate. The [[U.S. Supreme Court]] heard the case again in November 2005 and issued a unanimous decision in favor of Scheidler in February 2006. However, [[NOW]] has continued to wrangle over the details of the final judgment in district court and the case remained open for many more months.
