From my reading of the wikipedia articles about those cases, there has been no definitive decision on these-- just some refusal to vacate a stay, and then congress revised the law to have some congressional review. Perhaps someone else can

They are mostly drinking green tea in those jars. Green tea brews at a much lower temperature (150-180F); indeed, since they are leaving the tea leaves in there all day and refilling it, they can use even cooler water and let it steep slowl
