My takeaway was that VoA can be shutdown, it just needs to be done so according to the law.

My read is that it's all about the dollars. The court cannot force Congress to appropriate money, and so if there is no money appropriated to run VoA then the administration has no money from Congress to run it, and cannot be forced to restore it.
