You have to wonder about the timing as well and Judge Greer's decision. Did they time it to happen during Holy Week (the Easter season) because they knew the holiday and "Easter recess" of Congress would create chaos and work in their favor? That seems pretty diabolical and demonic.
I think you are right. This was planned to happen when it did, that much is obvious. I think it was also used to split the GOP, which in a large way it has.
