#1 The bottom line is that she knew it was bigger than her court, and no matter what she decided, it will be appealed up to the Supreme Court. So instead of deciding anything, she just identified the four issues that were contentious, so just they would be sent up the chain.

The only action she did that was averse was to put an injunction on the enforcement of these four. This was done to take it out of the public forum of protest vs. protest. Also pretty standard practice with contentious issues. Had she not done so, and the law enforced, it could have resulted in a lot of future litigation.
