i actually don't disagree with your main point, i.e. the courts throwing up their hands and saying 'we give up'
that probably won't happen
complete victory seem remote, but a victory is quite possible
SCOTUS could issue some weasel decision(not unheard of for them)
they give some ambiguous wording and pass it back to a lower court
this would be one way of signaling Congress to deal with it, they're tired of it
but aside from the courts, DEA is very much in play
they saw 19, and they didn't like it, and they know it may happen again
if they feel prospects are bad for them, this could push the rescheduling down to II
it is really such a pathetically small decision, for Christ's sake, we all know MJ can be useful medicine, they know it too
but rescheduling could blunt legalization efforts, it's a bone for the starving dog(in their minds)
