the suit? Here’s what I Said:

Lawsuit against DNC allowed to go forward on appeal

And that is exactly what happened.

I’m not as stupid as you’re trying to make out. Or maybe you can show me where I said they won their suit? Dervish didn’t say it either. So your remark is very confusing.

The Becks have not won their appeal yet. This was a procedural order that allowed the appeal process to continue. Here's an explanation I posted last week in the Evening Blues for Thursday:

To clarify, on Wednesday the Court of Appeals issued a procedural order, ruling in favor of the plaintiffs (the Bernie supporters) on a jurisdictional matter.

The effect of this order is that the plaintiffs can proceed with their appeal of the District Court's order dismissing the lawsuit.

The appellate court has not yet ruled on the merits of the appeal.

In fact, nothing substantive has been done so far in this lawsuit. It's all been procedural, including the District Court's dismissal.

If you're thinking "this sure is a lot of procedural stuff", yep, that's pretty standard, especially in federal court. Since this is complex litigation, involving a class action, if the Becks win their appeal and the case continues in the District Court, we'll undoubtedly see a lot more procedural activity. The lawsuit could literally go on for years.

To use a sports analogy, it's kind of like watching a golf tournament on TV. Lengthy stretches of boredom interspersed with moments of excitement. (Apologies to the golfing fans reading this.)
