And, the We The People Foundation and Bob Schulz were told by the US Court of Appeals that:

We need not resolve this debate, however, because we must follow the binding Supreme Court precedent. See Tenet v. Doe, 544 U.S. 1, 10-11 (2005). And under that precedent, Executive and Legislative responses to and consideration of petitions are entrusted to the discretion of those Branches.

The judgment of the District Court is affirmed.
So ordered.

ROGERS, Circuit Judge, concurring: The text of the Petition Clause of the First Amendment does not explicitly indicate whether the right to petition includes a right to a response.

Here is the WTP Foundation update about this 2007 ruling by the US Court of Appeals:
