Thanks for your clear headed assessment of this situation...it does seem like no one won this...cheerleaders from both sides, are cheering for what appears to be something that is not yet decided...
Well, with no decision at all, the sticker is still an undecided issue, so Cobb County can say they didn't lose. Of course, they didn't exactly win, but it's correct to say that nobody beat them.
They could decide to go ahead and put their stickers back on the books. Let's see if they go that route. If so, and if the plaintiffs still have a beef, I suspect that they'll pick a new law firm to handle the matter. Alas, the ACLU will be volunteering their services, which muddles things.
