Lawsuit filed by conspiracy nuts against DNC is dismissed.

43. I still don't see the connection to Judge Zloch's decision

You're not exactly refighting the primary, you're refighting the debate about the primary debates. Your link doesn't support your "90%" figure. What's relevant to this thread, though, is that Judge Zloch's decision didn't depend on determining the truth of the plaintiffs' allegations that the DNC was biased.

I personally think the DNC was biased in establishing a new exclusivity rule, in limiting debates as it did, and in scheduling them when it did. You think 2008 isn't a valid comparison? Fine, you're entitled to your opinion, although you might note that the first debate of the 2004 cycle was held in May 2003, not in October 2015 as it was this time. The point is that Judge Zloch's decision didn't turn on the question whether the DNC violated its neutrality rule. The judge made no finding on that point.
