I don't know if others are having a difficult time summarizing todays events (ie: Clinton) but what took place was the judge essentially doing everything she could to extend this as far as possible. This isn't gun-slinging in the streets at high noon, Clinton, through her attny, knew the outcome of todays proceedings.
They have one shot and that's to win the election. Politicians know that if Hillary doesn't win (at very least through the [D] party) that they have no chance since they won't control the US Military. With control many in the military will follow orders, many won't, but many will. Without that control, very few will become insubordinate to their leaders.
The judge, D.C., et al… None of them are on "our" side. None. They are just getting backed up, slowly, to the wall. They're all fighting for their lives. Even the "good guys" Are fighting for their lives. No good person becomes a politician or contains the amount of desire necessary to navigate that labrynth. It's ugly the whole way through. None of them are good. None are to be seen as heroes. Essentially, they know their days are numbered and the political structure, that was set up because people needed representatives due to travel restrictions, time, basically out of necessity due to lack in technology, that's done and over with. We are each capable of casting our own votes. We no longer require representatives for any logical reason. They know this.
D.C. is on life support. Few will make it through the next decade.
