Normally what happens is that even if the Supreme Court rules for the defendant, they remand the case back to the original judge with instructions to reconsider the case. Most of the time, the judge will simply dismiss the case, but sometimes the judge will do exactly as the the writer suggest. There is currently a case in front of the Supreme Court where the judge did exactly that (Fisher verse University of Texas). The case originally went to the Supreme Court in 2013 and the court found for Fisher, remanding the case back. The judge in question re-wrote the finding and found against Fisher again.
